NYPD, FBI hunting possible bomber in NYC
The city's battle to avert terror on the subways expanded Friday to include the hunt for a would-be bomber said to have possibly traveled to New York. The man, whom a city source said might have trained in Afghanistan and entered the city via Syria, was thought to have been part of a larger plot for a London-like bombing slated on or around Sunday. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, cautioned that investigators had not yet verified the person's whereabouts -- or identity. But NYPD detectives and FBI agents were pursuing him regardless. "It's just a matter of determining if that person exists with that name and is in New York," said the official, who did not reveal the possible suspect's name.
