CA - Warning of possible terrorist attack threat on Los Angeles subway

[gregjrichards]

"The threat of a terror attack against a busy commuter rail station in the Los Angeles area has prompted authorities to increase security throughout the region and urge commuters to report any suspicious behavior they see.

'Information was relayed this morning to the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force from our international partners that there was a potential threat,' Deirdre Fike, assistant director of the FBI's Los Angeles office, told reporters Monday night.

She said the caller threatened to carry out the attack sometime Tuesday at the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Universal City rail station, which is near Universal Studios."

If you are using the Los Angeles subway please report any suspicious activity immediately. Please stay safe. Let's hope and pray this attack never occurs.

This worries me because it sounds like a diversion. Get the focus on one area and then hit another. Hopefully this is a sick hoax.

The threat came from overseas through an anonymous phone call to a public safety line.

The caller indicated that something would occur at the station at Lankershim Boulevard across from Universal Studios on Tuesday.

I'm concerned too. I'm worried about possible attacks running up to Christmas. It would be an ideal time to strike in these monsters eyes. The Nice attack was a game changer in tactics they are capable of anything. I hate posting these threats as I don't want to worry people unnecessarily but we all need to be vigilant of our surroundings and report anything suspicious.
