New York and federal authorities are investigating the meaning and origin of a graphic that surfaced on Monday on the Internet apparently threatening an al Qaeda attack on New York City.
The graphic is a stylized photograph of the Manhattan skyline superimposed with a Hollywood-style caption that says: “ALQAEDA - coming soon again in New York.”
The New York Police Department was “investigating the origin and significance of the graphic … which appeared today on a few Arabic-language al Qaeda forums that remain online at the moment,” NYPD chief spokesman Paul Browne said.
