BAYONNE – Officials from the FBI informed the city Thanksgiving night that someone else called in a terroristic threat aimed at the city of Bayonne.
City officials immediately increased security.
The FBI apparently has identified the caller and said this was “not a creditable threat.”
City officials said the FBI apparently knows the identity of the caller and will shortly make an arrest, but said there was no risk.
This comes on the heels of the arrest of Jose Pimentel, who was arrested by NYC Police on Nov. 19, who allegedly named the Bayonne Police Department has a possible target.
City officials said they have checked records and have as yet found no connection between Pimentel and Bayonne to explain why Pimentel allegedly named Bayonne as a target. – Al Sullivan
