New York: Targeted By Tehran?
Increasing tensions between Washington and Tehran have revived New =
York Police Department concerns that Iranian agents may already have =
targeted the city for terror attacks. Such attacks could be aimed at =
bridges and tunnels, Jewish organizations and Wall Street, NYPD =
briefers told security execs last fall, according to a person with =
access to the briefing materials who asked for anonymity because of =
the sensitive subject matter.
NYPD officials have worried about possible Iranian-sponsored attacks =
since a series of incidents involving officials of the Iranian =
Mission to the United Nations. In November 2003, Ahmad Safari and =
Alireaza Safi, described as Iranian Mission “security” personnel, =
were detained by transit cops when they were seen videotaping subway =
tracks from Queens to Manhattan at 1:10 in the morning. The men later =
left New York. “We’re concerned that Iranian agents were engaged in =
reconnaissance that might be used in an attack against New York City =
at some future date,” Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly told =
NEWSWEEK. A spokesman for the Iranian Mission in New York said he was =
aware of the allegations but had no immediate comment.
