New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg warned residents Thursday night of “a specific threat” of a terrorist attack on the city’s transit system in coming days, but Washington authorities played down the threat as “non-credible.” Bloomberg (R) said he stepped up security for the transit system and made the announcement because “we have an obligation to share information with the public, as long as it doesn’t jeopardize their safety, and they can make their own decisions.” The mayor assured residents that everything was being done to provide security, and he vowed to ride the subway to work as usual Friday.
