Authorities executed search warrants and seized evidence early Monday morning at locations in the Queens borough of New York City as part of a terrorism investigation, according to a senior official familiar with the case.
This person said some counterterrorism officials were concerned that the individual at the center of the investigation may have had access to, or an interest in acquiring, materials that could be used for a chemical, biological or radiological device. One aspect of the probe involves whether the person had some contact or connections with suspicious individuals overseas, the official said. He stressed that the investigation was still at its earliest stages.
Law-enforcement officials are aware of the person's whereabouts, but the individual isn't in custody, according to the senior official. Items taken in the searches were still being processed and sorted through early Monday afternoon, the official said.
The official said little was known so far about any potential plots, targets or the seriousness of the matter, and that no danger appeared to be imminent. Others briefed on the details of the case made similar statements. Federal officials in Washington briefed members of Congress about the case Monday, which significantly raised its profile.
