"According to information gathered, the target date for a possible terror attack on New York subways is this Sunday, Oct. 9. Yet, American officials cannot seem to agree if that gathered information is credible.


Officials tell ABC News that, according to the source, the three bomb makers had built hundreds of suicide bombs in Iraq and had already sent 19 members of their group to the United States. "

I'm wondering why they would attack on a Sunday ... when the subways aren't as full as the work week.

If they were going for a crowded sports venue, they're out of luck with the Yankees; they're playing at L.A. on Sunday. On the other hand, the New York Jets are playing Tampa Bay at the Meadowlands (NJ).

With a security clampdown in the city's subway system continuing indefinitely, a city official said Saturday that three men arrested in Iraq in connection with a suspected terrorist plot were believed credible because they are not low-level insurgents, are well-connected outside of their country and had traveled abroad.

The three men, whom authorities have not identified and who are being questioned by U.S. forces, were believed to have planned to leave Iraq and travel through Syria to arrive in the United States on Friday and deliver a London-like bombing on or around Sunday, said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Little was known about a fourth person who officials said may be in the New York City area, having entered the country from Syria. It remained unclear if the person actually exists.
