NEW YORK CITY , N.Y., Jan. 12 (UPI) -- New York City's police are taking extra precautions after Islamic State militants renewed a September 2014 threat telling followers to "rise up and kill intelligence officers, police officers, soldiers, and civilians."
NYPD officers were told to remain alert to the threat, which specifically names the United States, France, Australia and Canada as targets. The FBI and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued a similar warning to law enforcement agencies nationwide.
