ASSOCIATED PRESS


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "He likened al-Qaida to a cancer that has metastasized.

"Whether or not al-Qaida has a reach into the boroughs of New York or the areas of East London or not, I think we're going to be seeing the metastases developing more and more along the continuum of radicalism, extremism, violence and then leading to terrorism," he said.

Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly, who hosted the conference, credited law enforcement with thwarting a handful of local plots in the wake of the Sept. 11 attack on the World Trade Center. He said the arrests last year of "two homegrown jihadists" in an alleged scheme to blow up a subway station in busy Herald Square were proof the city could protect itself."
