But the department said an ‘adequate detail will be in place’ around the city. This year marks the 15th anniversary of the terror attacks that killed more than 3,000 people. Authorities told NBC that ‘as of now, there are no specific credible threats to New York City’.
‘We will monitor and deploy our personnel as needed .
Once again, we ask the public to be vigilant and if you see something, say something.’
The State Department also urged Americans to be vigilant about their personal security, NBC reported. The latest worldwide caution from the State Department says: ‘Current information suggests that terrorist groups continue to plan attacks in multiple regions.
‘Recent terrorist attacks, whether by those affiliated with terrorist entities, copycats, or individual perpetrators, serve as a reminder that US citizens need to maintain a high level of vigilance.’
