SNIPPET: “Authorities have not found any weapons ready for use — such as a bomb — that would indicate an attack was imminent, they said. Nevertheless, one of the officials called the threat very real and emphasized the urgency of the threat.
Another person briefed on the matter, who was not authorized to discuss the case and requested anonymity, said the raids were the result of previous law enforcement surveillance of individuals.”

Homes in Queens were raided earlier today in connection with an ongoing FBI investigation, the New York City Police Department confirms.
The NYPD says one of the residences is located on 147th Street between Parsons and 41st Avenue in Flushing, Queens.
The Associated Press reports that the investigation is terrorism-related but neither the FBI nor the NYPD will confirm those claims.
The FBI says several criminal search warrants were issued but no arrests have been made at this time.
According to the AP, officials are said to be preparing to brief Congress about the investigation.
Sounds like they might have had infiltrators, maybe in the local mosque.
With all the bigwigs in town this week, they decided to strike sooner rather than later.
