NYPD boss: Islamic State group threat expanding

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City has entered a “new era” of potential terror threats as hostilities between the United States and extremists from the Islamic State group intensify, Police Commissioner William Bratton said Tuesday.

Bratton told reporters that there is no current information pointing to a specific threat against the city. But he said that the New York Police Department continues to worry that American citizens who have joined forces with the Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq could return home to New York to commit acts of terror.
