Escalating violence in Gaza increasing chatter of possible terror attack in New York, intelligence report says
CBSN
NEW YORK -- CBS News learned Monday of new threats of a possible terror attack in New York City as a direct result of the escalating violence in the Middle East.
Gov. Kathy Hochul is already taking action to beef up security and increase staffing of the Joint Terrorism Task Force following a new threat assessment by the New York State Intelligence Center that violence in Gaza is driving chatter about targets in New York.
"I am working hard at the state level. With the control I have, I'll be talking about this tomorrow, about exactly what we're doing, on how many online threats we've uncovered, how many have been investigated, what the outcome is," said Hochul.
After four days of voting, with more than 400 million people eligible across 27 countries, European voters have pulled the bloc's 720-seat parliament farther to the right than it has ever been.

Far-right parties made gains in Europe's top three economies — Germany, France and Italy — with gains by politicians who campaigned against immigration, against support for Ukraine and against climate policy.

But this year, the WWDC could be a make-or-break moment for the tech giant.
