A well-placed U.S. military official told CNN on Thursday that the same intelligence also led to a raid against suspected al Qaeda operatives in Iraq.
No arrests have been made in Manhattan, but operations continue outside the city, Kelly said, without mentioning where.
And Bloomberg said that officials "do not have any reason to believe" that any of the plotters "are in New York at this point in time"
The highly classified operation involving the U.S. intelligence community and the U.S. military was carried out against suspected al Qaeda operatives south of Baghdad, CNN has learned from a well-placed U.S. military official.
"Significant intelligence was also gathered in this raid, along with al Qaeda operatives who were rounded up," CNN's Jamie McIntyre reported, citing the official who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Few other details were provided about the raid, which occurred in the town of Musayyib, in the lawless area nicknamed "The Triangle of Death." But the official said the raid was the result of the same intelligence about the threat to New York's subway system.
And just how do they know that? These people operate under the radar screen. They are not necessarily always going to have intelligence.
