JERSEY CITY – A statement by Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi at the United Nations this week that ISIS may be planning to attack subways has caused Jersey City police to increase security, according to Public Safety Director James Shea.
ISIS, a well-funded terrorist group in Iraq and Syria, is reportedly seeking retaliation for American air strikes, and may be looking to do so inside the United States, reports said.
This comes when the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has also increased its security measures for the PATH trains, and will start more vigilant random searches of packages and bags.
