NEW YORK -- Police in New York City stepped up their patrols and increased their random searches on subways and buses Wednesday following reports that as many as 24 more people are under observation in a suspected cross-country terror plot.
Amid media reports that some public storage centers in the region were being raided, the FBI told FOX News that there may be "consensual searches" under way but they were not "raids."
No new search warrants have been filed in recent days, the FBI told FOX.
The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security issued bulletins earlier this week warning law enforcement officials around the country to watch mass transit, stadiums, warehouses with rentable storage units and hotels for any unusual activity.
The feds circulated the internal alerts in the midst of the investigation into a suspected New York City-Colorado terror plot in which three people -- an airport shuttle driver, his father and an imam -- are in custody for allegedly lying to the government.
The three are due in court Thursday to face the charges.
The possible Al Qaeda-linked scheme may have included plans to detonate bombs stuffed into backpacks, much like the subway attacks carried out in Madrid and London, authorities say....
NYC tightens up: 24 more under scrutiny in jihad terror plot
Appearing to be more serious by the minute. New York Jihad Plot Update. "Up to 24 More People Under Scrutiny as NYC Tightens Security in Terror Probe," from FoxNews, September 23 (thanks to Islam In Action):
Besides JW and a few others, we're 'All Quiet on the Western Front'
So the question is....will they delay until the heat is off, or proceed because they think they are so smart that they can pull an attack off right under the noses of the authorities?

And here I thought that the war on terror was over.
silly me.
Obama said that the war on terror is over, but once again he is a liar. He is terrorizing the American tax payer.
I expect this was merely an eid celebration that the Feds broke up.

Whatever could have been in their minds?
I assume religion has not been a question raised?
Hope the authorities don't foget about all those Presbyterians and Buddhists who want to wreak harm on America.
I hear some on Fox news. It is quick though - don't go away from the screen to do something else or you will miss it.
There are ALOT more than 24 that they need to be concerned with, but it's a good start.

Re: debka article. Now that's the way to add steel to his visit...lol. Bumbling idiots shouldn't play with modern toys and allah didn't approve. Too funny.
Re: Debka
The flaming wreckage of the AWAC and accompanying jet landed directly on top of khomeini's mausoleum which is a national shrine. This in full view of the nation.
I dunno. I would say Allah is trying to tell them something.
Lest anyone be confused into thinking only the FBI, DPD and NYPD need to be alert...

President Obama has been President for almost ten months and no terrorist attack. That means he's a greater president than Bush was, when will Cheney man up and admit it. On another note, I know some people in the NYPD who handle this stuff, they're on point and I'm glad they seem to have things under control.
DustanH: You've got to be kidding (maybe you are; for your sake I hope you are). Obama stupidly has moved to close Gitmo, decided we're not even in a war on terror, is preparing to prosecute CIA officials for phantom violations of the law, has thrown Israel to the wolves (thankfully Israel will be able to take care of itself), was later than even the damn Secreatry General of the UN in condemning the rigged elections in Iran (we just can't meddle, you know) and is feared by no dictator in the world. The fact that we've not been hit by an Islamic terrorist attack is in no way due to any initiative pioneered by Obama but rather because of Bush policies still in place in spite of Obama and because of proper diligence by law enforcement authorities. Done here.
DustanH. The only reason there have been no terrorist attacks in the US since Obama became President is because of the measures taken post-9/11 by Bush - measures that are being slowly dismantled by Obama. 9/11 was planned during the Clinton era, and would have happened even had Gore won in 2000. Clinton put out the eyes of US intelligence. Nothing was learned after the first attack on the WTC in 1993 - and that is the biggest dereliction of duty imaginable, and the biggest mistake was to treat it as a crime rather than an attempt to start a religious war. After 9/11, Bush had to put in place an anti-terror structure that hadn't existed before. You ara a complete and utter idiot.
Do these Islamic lunatics think that if they manage to kill enough US civilians, including women and children that we will all come to our senses and embrace Islam? Can they possibly be that stupid? Stupid question. Of course they are that stupid. They are the heroes of the stupid.
If that's what they are thinking, then they are going to be in for a huge surprise. If you think America overreacted following 9/11 then you are in for a huge shock when we get hit again. The fury is rising on a daily basis. I've woken all of my family and friends up to what Islam really is and they in turn are waking up others. Tolerance is at a breaking point.
If America gets hit again with mass casualties then all those poor misunderstood and persecuted and most holy of all people, the best of all people, will really have something to whine about. They really have no idea what they are stirring up.
"New York City-Colorado terror plot..." Hmmm. Are there not Jamaat Ul-Fuqra communities in both NY and Colorado? Sounds like the sleepers are becoming active.
One should never use Eids to cover up bad deeds.
I think, Super Kafir, the phrase is "stuck on stupid".
