More Faisal Shahzads living amongst US civilians, warns NY Police Chief | New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly has warned of an enhanced threat from 'home grown terrorists' such as the failed Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad, adding that there are many like him currently living amongst the US citizens at present. Speaking during a function here, Kelly said that the botched May 1 terror
plot confirmed that "the threat from extremists shows no sign of receding." "Shahzad's
plea was a 'chilling reminder' of the threat posed by home-grown terrorists who
make no apologies for trying to kill as many New Yorkers as possible to avenge
what they perceive as American responsibility for Muslim deaths abroad," The Daily
Times quoted Kelly, as saying. Earlier this week, Shahzad, a US citizen of Pakistani
origin, had pleaded guilty to 10 charges, including attempted use of a weapon
of mass destruction and attempted terrorism transcending national borders, and
warned that extremists would continue to target America unless it pulls out troops
from Muslim nations and stop drone attacks in Pakistan's tribal regions. "Shahzad
could not have put it more plainly when he said, 'It's a war. If the NYPD's intelligence
programme has taught us anything, it is that there are others living among us
who share his beliefs and aspirations," Kelly added. |
