Iran Targeting New York City?

Iran's not a threat....All we have to do is talk to them....Bush is lying about Iran.

By now we've heard it all. Liberals in denial about the threat of terrorism and Iran's role in it.

But since this story is reported in Newsweek, maybe they'll listen? Nah! We know better.

New York: Targeted By Tehran?
Newsweek
March 5, 2007 issue

...NYPD officials have worried about possible Iranian-sponsored attacks since a series of incidents involving officials of the Iranian Mission to the United Nations. In November 2003, Ahmad Safari and Alireaza Safi, described as Iranian Mission "security" personnel, were detained by transit cops when they were seen videotaping subway tracks from Queens to Manhattan at 1:10 in the morning. The men later left New York. "We're concerned that Iranian agents were engaged in reconnaissance that might be used in an attack against New York City at some future date," Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly told NEWSWEEK.

Since U.N. diplomats don't use mass transit or live in Queens, I doubt they'll be alarmed enough by this report to actually DO something about Iran.

P.S. In testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee, newly installed U.S. intelligence chief Mike McConnell said it was "probable" that Iranian leaders including Ayatollah Ali Khamenei were aware that weapons known as explosively formed penetrators, or EFPs, had been supplied to Iraqi Shi'ites.
