N.Y. residences raided in terrorism probe
WASHINGTON (AP) — Law enforcement agents raided residences in New York City on Monday as part of a terrorism investigation, and prepared to brief Congress about the probe.
New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne confirmed that searches were conducted in the borough of Queens by agents of a joint terrorism task force. He would not discuss the matter further.
Separately, federal authorities planned to brief senior lawmakers in Congress on the case later Monday.
A person briefed on the matter, who was not authorized to discuss the case and requested anonymity, said the raids were the result of previous law enforcement surveillance of individuals.

WPIX: Law enforcement agents have raided residences in New York City as part of a terrorism probe.
QUEENS, N.Y. - Law enforcement agents raided residences in Queens on Monday as part of a terrorism investigation, and began briefing Congress about the probe.
New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne confirmed that searches were conducted in the Flushing section of the borough by agents of a joint terrorism task force. He would not discuss the matter further.
Separately, federal authorities started briefing a series of senior lawmakers in Congress about the case.
Two U.S. intelligence officials, who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case publicly, said the target of any purported attack -- or who would carry it out -- remained unclear.
Authorities have not found any weapons ready for use -- such as a bomb -- that would indicate an attack was imminent, they said. Nevertheless, one of the officials called the threat very real and emphasized the urgency of the threat.
Another person briefed on the matter, who was not authorized to discuss the case and requested anonymity, said the raids were the result of previous law enforcement surveillance of individuals.
The investigation was continuing.
Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., who was briefed by FBI officials, said he couldn't discuss much of the case because many of the details were still classified.
"There was nothing imminent, and they are very good now at tracking potentially dangerous actions and this was preventive,'' Schumer said. He added that the law enforcement action was unrelated to President Barack Obama's visit Monday to New York.
