Terrorist Alert Warning! New York City Police told to prepare for upcoming elections
The United States presidential elections are dangerously close. This has caused up an array of excitement amongst everyone. However, where there is excitement, there is bound to be a sense of doubt.
Since the elections will be done in New York. The Federal officials of the United States of America have warned the forces in New York to be aware of their surroundings and have a look out. Their reason for saying this is because they believe there could be a potential threat to the election.
The threat so far as to their suspicion is a terrorist attack from al Qaeda and is said to occur right around election day.
A statement provided directly to TIME by a police officer says how they are very well aware of the information given to them. The information is of course secret to the general public.
However it is thoroughly mentioned how the New York City police is working side by side with the FBI as well as other Joint Terrorism Task Forces.
As of right now, according to the statement, they are doing high levels of patrols around all the facilities involved directly and indirectly with the election day.
Other than Time, the New York Times also did an entire section regarding the potential terrorist threats during election day.
They are mentioning how the amount of information given to the New York police could be vague to a certain extent. That is in no way shape or form a good thing because a vague warning only increases the number of possibilities and the work related stress that comes along with it.
They also are correlating other large political events with terrorist attacks. So far the chances look pretty high of something happening during the election day.
However the people have faith in the authorities and are sure they will get them out of this potential mess.
