Police Hold Nuclear Training Exercise in N.Y. Harbor
NEW YORK (AP) — Police, fire, Coast Guard and Port Authority officials are among those working on a nuclear training exercise in New York Harbor.
Steve Sandberg Reports
New York Police Department Commissioner Ray Kelly says crews will try to detect a nuclear device on a vessel headed into the harbor on Friday. The crews will use equipment received from federal authorities to combat terrorism. The device used Friday will be harmless.
The exercise will last about six hours. More than 100 people will be involved.
The exercise is among the largest collaborations among agencies in the area, including police from Perth Amboy, N.J.
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly says these types of anti-terrorist exercises are conducted regularly but this one may be the biggest in terms of the number of other agencies that are participating.
Officials say there are seven choke points in the city and three are being tested Friday: the Verrazano Bridge, the Outerbridge Crossing and the George Washington Bridge.
Listen to the audio on the link. “The largest drill of its kind since 9/11”. They are getting ready for something!!!
I just came here to post the same article. Makes you wonder what they know. Good to hear from you. Regards and stay safe.

OPINION:
I think this is a good exercise, and I hope other states are
drilling and preparing, too.
I’ve heard of no specific threat against NY, lately except for the
target areas found on the papers Sidiqqui had when she was arrested.
Apparently, NY was a targeted area.

As always Iran is full of threats, hot air and evil intent.
