The Blotter from Brian Ross reports that surveillance teams are stretched thin watching more than 24 possible suspects while some officials worry the New York terror plot is “still alive”. One senior law enforcement official with more than a dozen years of experience in counter-terrorism investigations tells The Blotter, “I have never been so worried.”
Yesterday both the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security issued a bulletin to law enforcement authorities urging vigilance at so-called “soft targets” including sports stadiums and luxury hotels.
On Monday, media sources reported that alleged terror plot suspect Najibullah Zazi’s computer contained information relating to New York area baseball and football stadiums and a video of Grand Central Terminal in New York.
The FBI and Homeland Security have warned police about possible attacks on mass transit targets but said there is no evidence of any specific target or timing.
