The alleged terror threat that sparked a big security alert on New
York's trains and subway last week turned out to be a hoax concocted by
an unreliable US informant in Iraq, it emerged yesterday.
Uniformed and undercover police descended on the city's subway system
on Friday after what was described as a "specific threat" that a terror
cell was planning to explode bombs concealed in pushchairs, suitcases
and rucksacks. At one point a section of Penn Station was sealed off as
security staff wearing chemical hazard suits investigated a "soupy
green substance" found in a Pepsi bottle. It turned out be a cleaning
substance.
