Opening activity

The article I read was about U.S. officials chasing the unconfirmed al-Qaida car bomb plot in either New York or Washington. Counterterrorism officials were chasing an unconfirmed but credible al-Qaida threat to use a car bomb on bridges or tunnels somewhere in either New York or Washington. It was the first "active plot" that would coincide with the commemoration of al-Qaida's 9/11 attacks which occured a decade ago. The offiials were investigating the threat Thursday night and into Friday morning. New York and Washington have stepped up it's police staff because of these threats.
Intelligence has shown that the car bombers were planning a bomb one of two cities that were hit a decade ago.
