New York police to warn public on suicide bombers

By Christine Kearney

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Police in New York will board city buses and
subway trains and teach passengers how to recognize suicide bombers,
officials said on Thursday in the wake of the deadly blasts blamed on
such bombers in London.

New York, hardest hit by the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, has been
spared suicide bomb attacks such as those that plague daily life in
Iraq and have frequently shaken Israel.

The bombings of three subways and a bus in London last week, which
killed at least 53 people, were Britain's first suicide attacks.

Alerting the public to identify suicide bombers is part of a broader
plan to step up warnings on New York's public transportation system
of possible terror-related activity, officials said.

So, what does a typical suicide bomber look like?

1. There are already a bunch of cops on the subway

So now the subways will be delayed even MORE than they already are? Greeaaat, I can't wait! :sarcasm:

2. This is funny...

after the hoopla about the cop getting on the bus, and giving the speech, the city denied it was standard procedure. Now, it's going to be? Sigh...

>>"So, what does a typical suicide bomber look like?"<<

According to London police, "ordinary lads".

EDIT: let it not be said that I misspelled a word!

3. Maybe Ghouliani can do the PSA's.

After all, he has been at the site of two major world catastrophes!

4. Impossible! They can't do this without offending "someone"
