US has no evidence of any Islamic State plot against subways

WASHINGTON - The United States has no evidence to back up an Iraqi claim that Islamic State forces were plotting to attack US subway systems, two senior US government security officials told Reuters on Thursday.

 

In the past, the United States had received threats that various militant groups were targeting such transportation systems but there is no recent information about an imminent plan by Islamic State, one official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

 

A separate source in Congress said lawmakers and staff had not been briefed on any current Islamic State threats against subways in US cities.
