Islamic State terrorists are plotting an attack on US and Paris subway systems, Iraq’s prime minister warned Thursday morning at the United Nations.

Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said he was told of the plot by his intelligence in Baghdad, and that it was from foreign ISIS fighters in Iraq, according to the Associated Press.

“I’m receiving accurate reports from Baghdad that there were arrests of a few elements and there were networks from inside Iraq to have attacks … on metros of Paris and US,” he said.

He said the attacks had not been thwarted yet, and he had alerted the United States. Al-Abadi made the claim at a meeting with reporters at a gathering of world leaders at the General Assembly.

The prime minister said that their intelligence division has captured several ISIS fighters, who revealed during interviews that French and Americans had been recruited by ISIS and are plotting hits on metro systems in Paris and the United States.

The MTA has increased uniformed cops by 30 to 50 percent at high-volume stations, is increasing random bag checks and is closely watching high-profile locations on security video.

(ahem Interviews?

I have no idea what this Iraqi PM is talking about. Them Amish never cause problems. /s

[ilgipper]

Obama’s legacy. What passive foreign policy get you every time. 50+ percent of Americans are ignorant of history or think somehow THEY are just smarter than those in the past.

So depressing.

[livius]

I hope they were the kind of interview that hurts...

[Jane Long]

He must be mistaken. 0bomba says Islam teaches Peace.

(ahem Interviews?

You know, like to apply for a job.

Would be a gas to see their Curriculum Vitae.

Better go get my cold cut combo on white before they get here.

[wiggen]

i ride them daily to and from work. Anyone suspicious looking may just incur a beat down.

[dfwgator]

Oh gee, Praise Obama, he’s saved us again. /s

somebody parks a car in front of the White House
with a nuclear weapon in the trunk!”

Some years ago I had an unnerving experience on the Paris metro. I had just finished a night boat trip on the Seine with my wife, her sister and my brother-in-law. The cab driver would only take three people so since I spoke French I opted to take the metro back to the hotel. The car was mostly empty, but two obviously Muslim men got on at the next stop. They did not take a seat and stood in the back appearing to be surveying the car. They both had backpacks. I got off at the next stop and took an alternate route back to the hotel. I expected to learn about a metro attack in the news during the next few days.

Perhaps I was just being paranoid, but the London subway bombing had only been a few months before and I was on alert.

Could those 'interviews' involve (gasp) waterboarding and..

[Blood of Tyrants]

If an attack happens, I guarantee you that Obama will publicly proclaim that the terrorists weren’t “true Muslims”.

[Chgogal]

Rambo, they are coming after you!

CTA train users beware!

[Lockbar]

We just got concealed carry, but of course public transit trains, subways, buses are banned carry areas. No need to defend ourselves there. Nope.

[Chgogal]

Stay away from the garbage cans.

Godspeed.

[PATRIOT1876]

May I suggest more female bomber pilots to exterminate the ISIS infestation of our world.

Also, every military bullet should be dipped in pig's blood. The hollow ones should contain pigs’s blood.

Give them one warning to stop their barbaric behavior or we bomb Mecca.

[CorporateStepsister]

^Which means that Obama will be driven from office, if not frogmarched out by the Marines.

[Chgogal]

I'd love to see signs saying “Criminals are banned so people can feel safe and don't have to carry.” ; )
