"Al-Qaeda's AQAP Incites New Year Attacks on Western and Jewish Targets, Airlines"
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is on high alert after al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) released videos calling for attacks on U.S. airlines, prominent figures, and iconic locations, including Times Square and the New York City subway. The threats specifically mention targeting Jewish and Western interests and provide detailed bomb-making instructions. The TSA is maintaining a high level of security and vigilance, especially during the holiday season, and is working closely with the Department of Homeland Security. New York City is also increasing security for New Year's Eve celebrations amid these threats and recent demonstrations.
