By TOM HAYS

NEW YORK Sep 8, 2006 (AP)— Five years after the attack on the World
Trade Center, Islamic extremists including members of Hezbollah still
view the city as a prime target for another terrorist strike, police say.

The threat "is a permanent condition, and in all likelihood will worsen,"

Falkenrath, told an audience of private security executives Thursday.

"It's a very sobering conclusion and I don't reach it at all happily,
but I do think it is true," he said.

crowd chanted, "Death to America."

2. Not according to the Department of Homeland Security.

Petting Zoos, Roller Rinks and Dairy Queens in Indiana are the REAL Al Qaeda targets. At least that's where DHS is sending the money to thwart terrorism. The terrorists hate us for our Petting Zoos! :wow: Who could have known? :shrug:
