UPDATED --- New York: Residents Voice Concerns About Iranian Westchester Dam Hack
...related: driving south to LaGuardia Airport early this afternoon, we noticed multiple police/fire/rescue vehicles with emergency lights flashing on every exit/entrance/overpass to the Sprain Brook Pkwy throughout Westchester County. Nothing is found online identifying the activity. A co-worker mentioned difficulty driving through Manhattan at the same time - side roads closed to traffic as well. Given the recent non-specific terror alert for NYC, wondering if anyone else has more information. END UPDATE

Married couple with ‘common interest’ in violent jihad are GUILTY of plotting 7/7-style suicide attack on Westfield shopping centre – asking Twitter for tips and testing bombs in their back garden An aspiring suicide bomber and his secret wife who had a ‘common interest’ in violent jihad have been found guilty of planning an ISIS-inspired terror attack on London after testing lethal bombs in their back garden. Mohammed Rehman, 25, planned to blow up either Westfield shopping centre or the London Underground to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the 7/7 bombings. His jihadi dream was funded by his wife Sana Ahmed Khan, 24, who used payday loans to buy fertiliser which her husband engineered into bombs. The court heard how the couple, who wed in secret in a traditional Islamic ceremony, immersed themselves in ISIS and Al Qaeda propaganda and idolised 7/7 bomber Shehzad Tanweer.

You’re a slave. You and your people (Jews) are nothing’: New York man ‘scratched and bitten in horrific racist attack’ A man was scratched across the face and bitten on the left side of his chest as the blazing racist who had subjected him to weeks of abuse ‘snapped’ and assaulted him, police said. Sean Abrahams, 44, was attacked on Sunday in Brooklyn, East New York, by a man who previously called him a slave and threatened to ‘f**k him up’, the New York Daily News reported. Mohammad Yakub, 22, has been charged with assault and menacing and several counts of harassment. He thrust himself at Mr Abrahams and tried to hit him in the head before scratching him across the face and biting his chest, police said. The attack took place near Yakub’s home, on the corner of Doscher Street and Pitkin Avenue. And there's also a video and the story of another Jew being being beaten during a "robbery" in the streets of New York City.
