The New York Daily News reports that some of the Big Apple's richest residents were warned about possible terror threats long before the rest of the population.Business and arts executives got e-mails at least three days before police alerted the general public.
The information was apparently leaked from the Department of Homeland Security in Washington.
"I have just received a most disturbing call from one of my oldest friends from growing up in Washington. He called with a very specific caution to not enter or use the New York City subway system from Oct. 7 through 10th." -- excerpt from one of the suspect e-mails
NYPD found one e-mail with a time stamp dated a full hour and a half before Mayor Michael Bloomberg was even briefed on the threat.
New York subways were put on a higher state of alert based on information from interrogations in Iraq. The threat turned out to be unwarranted. (New York Daily News)
