Iraq Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said that the U.S. had been alerted of a plot for an imminent attack on subway systems in United States and Paris uncovered by his country's intelligence operation.

"This morning it has been reported that there may be imminent threats against subway systems in the United States," Cuomo said. "We are aware of the report and are treating it with the utmost precaution. Our administration has been coordinating at a high level with local, state and federal partners. I want to assure the people of New York that we are monitoring these reports closely and are in close communication with officials in Washington.

 “Over the past few weeks we have already begun to increase security at mass transit sites and other key areas in the New York City area as part of a bi-state security enhancement in partnership with Governor Christie. Public safety is paramount, and we are doing everything necessary to protect New Yorkers.”
