New York fears attacks

New York: New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly has warned of possible copycat attacks in this financial capital of the U.S. in the wake of last week’s terrorist strikes in Mumbai.

“In many ways, the city of Mumbai bears striking similarities to New York,” Mr. Kelly told reporters, according to CNN.

“It is the country’s financial capital, a densely populated cultural metropolis and a hub for the media... all of these features make it a compelling target.”

Mr. Kelly’s remarks came at a news conference where the police chief and the department’s chief intelligence officers issued security recommendations to New York hotels and other “soft targets”. — IANS
