Official: Threat cites this weekend
NEW YORK (CNN) -- Two of the dates mentioned in intelligence about possible subway attacks in New York were Friday and Sunday, an official with knowledge of the investigation told CNN. The official said the source of the threat information had trained at a terrorist camp in Afghanistan and has been an accurate purveyor of information to U.S. intelligence in the past. The source passed a polygraph test having to do with knowledge of the possible attacks in New York, the official said. The source had been questioned in Iraq and also provided information that led to the arrests of three al Qaeda suspects in Musayyib, about 45 miles south of Baghdad, the official told CNN. Some of those detained were of Middle Eastern descent, the official said. That highly classified military operation took place Wednesday, a well-placed U.S. military official has told CNN. (Full story) Friday, October 7, is three months to the day that four bombers carried out attacks on three London subways and a double-decker bus, killing 52 people and wounding 700. The July 7 morning rush-hour attacks were the city's bloodiest since World War
II.

"The source passed a polygraph test having to do with knowledge of the possible attacks in New York, the official said."

This is exactly what I heard them say on CBS News. I don't know if it was Bloomberg speaking or who. But they said he had taken a polograph and passed it, and then said BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN WHAT HE SAID WAS TRUE.

My head just keeps spinning and spinning.

"Some of those detained were of Middle Eastern descent, the official said."

When editing, they should always get rid of superfluous sentences like the one above.
