Security at the United Nations headquarters in New York was stepped up this week due to reports of a bomb threat. According to an anonymous diplomat, the United States Customs and Immigration Service received a bomb threat via telephone this morning. The threat, which has been described as a car bombing, was to take place at approximately 10am and was to involve two backpacks full of grenades.
The 39 story building on First Avenue was not evacuated, however police activity in the area was excessive and patrols were clearly visible throughout the area. This isn't the first time the U.N. building has been threatened. After the WTC bombing in 1993 the building was labeled as a terrorist target, the building was subsequently evacuated in 2001 during and after the 9-11 attacks and once again shortly after in lieu of the anthrax attacks.
