Have you seen this tonight? Details emerge about New York Terroist threat. Pharmacists will try to place chemical bombs in New York subway.

It comes from a Jason Smith's blog mentioned by Michelle Malkin. Here's the link:

Update 2: Confederate Yankee is live-blogging the NYC event. One thing I noticed, though on the clip he posted from ABC is that they've apparently changed the text of the 5th paragraph since he posted it:

According to sources in intelligence, emergency services and police headquarters, when three Iraqi insurgents were arrested several days ago during a raid by a joint FBI-CIA team, one of those caught disclosed the threat. Because it slipped out during the arrest, the plot was deemed credible.

...now says:

According to sources in intelligence, emergency services and police headquarters, the intelligence community developed information that the threat may have involved pharmacists from Iraq coming to New York for some kind of chemical attack targeting the subways. Three insurgents, one or more of whom are pharmacists, were arrested during a raid by a U.S. military and intelligence community team, sources said, and one of those caught disclosed the threat. Because it slipped out during the arrest, the plot was deemed credible.
First, it's much more significant with the specific information about the pharmacists and possible chemical attack.

Second, it's interesting how they removed the reference to the "joint FBI-CIA" team's success in capturing these guys and getting this information. Afterall, if Jamie Gorelick were still in charge, they would've never been working together, much less sharing any information. Wow... CY just posted his update that noted the exact same thing. Great minds!
