Es bleibt kuschelig in NYC.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. law enforcement issued a warning to state and local police of a possible al Qaeda threat to transit systems in and around New York City, a Homeland Security official said on Wednesday.

"The Department of Homeland Security and Federal Bureau of Investigation issued a warning to state and local officials November 25 about plausible but uncorroborated information that al Qaeda may have discussed in late September concerning the targeting of transit systems in and around New York City," said Homeland Security spokesman Russ Knocke.

He and a federal law enforcement official said neither Homeland Security nor the FBI has any specific information to confirm that the plot has developed "beyond aspirational planning." They said the warning was issued as a routine matter and no adjustments were being made to the nation's threat level.
