Red Dragon Army Anti-terror exercise or al Qaeda dirty bomb in NYC?
New York City authorities deployed extra police, fire and EMT teams around the city Friday night in response to an unsubstantiated terrorism threat involving a truck packed with radioactive material. As part of the heightened anti-terrorism stance, the NYPD late Friday night established a series of checkpoints in Lower Manhattan and at other Manhattan entry points, where officers were checking cars and trucks and questioning drivers. Authorities said they were also mobilizing a battery of radiological sensors, including vehicular and helicopter-mounted devices.
