The threat may also be directed at the passenger rail lines running through New York, such as Amtrak and the Long Island Rail Road, it said, quoting an unidentified source.
Russ Knocke, a spokesman of the Department of Homeland Security spokesman, said the warning was issued as a routine matter, but that there may be an increased police presence in New York and other large cities.
