New York, NY – New York City police boost security at synagogues during the holiday season because nearly half the plots to attack the city in the past 20 years were aimed at Jewish targets, law enforcement sources said on Thursday.

Since al Qaeda militants flew hijacked airliner attacks into New York’s World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, the city considers itself a prime target and authorities traditionally increase security during the busy holiday season.
While law enforcement sources said there was no information to indicate New York would be targeted this holiday season, authorities are still wary after a Nigerian man tried to bring down a Detroit-bound passenger plane on Christmas Day in 2009 with a bomb hidden in his underpants.
New analyses from the New York Police Department (NYPD) Intelligence Division showed that since 1992, eight of 18 plots to attack the city targeted Jewish institutions or Jewish people in New York, law enforcement sources said.
The intelligence analyses also found that New York City had at some point been home to 44 extremist militants since 2002.
Of those, 43 were captured, while Samir Khan, editor of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula’s Inspire magazine, was killed by a CIA drone strike in Yemen in September.
In the past decade New York City has developed extensive intelligence and counterterrorism divisions. In response to the new intelligence reports, New York Police Department Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne said: “Fortunately the NYPD has gotten close to (the extremists) without their knowledge.”
I was in israel on sep 11 2011 before I left home from israel I went in a kvitel to the old kretchnif rabbe ztl. (Reb tzvi hersh rosenboum) of yerushaleim and I asked him if I should be scared to live in NY ? He wrote me on a small paper. Der vos er labed eibig er firt de velt in nisht kein mention.
Since then I always had this paper in my pocket I kept it as a shmirah.
Months later I went visiting my grand fathers house from before the war in Niridhaaz – Hungary. I met the person that lived there. I asked him to look around the house. He said for $10 I can so I gave him. Then I asked him if he has somthing from the person that lived here 70 years ago he said 1 peace of paper that I have hung on my bedroom wall and I need it I don’t want to give it away. I asked him why he said he wants had a big fire and no damage and somone jew told him you must have somthing from that old owner that watches your house. And I found this so I don’t want to give ot away.
I convinsed him to give it to me for $1000. And he did. Burech hashem
But let’s all know the truth we are in gules between goiyim everyone hates us. But we have hashem on our side.
And now congress will investigate the CIA-NYPD connection, t’was in the news the other day. That’s beyond me!!!
We (stupid Americans) never learn, not even the hard way!
