SNIPPET: “NEW YORK (WABC) — NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly warned that New York City remains the primary target for terrorists here.

Kelly spoke to a group of security specialists at a seminar that had been planned long ago.

The gathering focused on terror tactics, and security in the subways.

As rail traffic increases around the upcoming holiday, at Penn Station and throughout the Amtrak system there is an increased show of force reportedly known as “Operation Railsafe”.”

SNIPPET: “”Railroads and subways remain among the suicide bombers favorite targets,” said Richard Kaminski, Dir. Intelligence Analysis.”
