FBI: Snooping Thwarted NYSE, Subway Bomb Plots


Government surveillance programs disrupted plots to bomb the New York Stock Exchange and subway system, FBI Deputy Director Sean Joyce revealed on Tuesday. The snooping also linked an American citizen in Chicago to the 2008 terror attacks on hotels in India and to a plot to bomb the offices of a Danish newspaper that published a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad, Joyce also told members of the House Intelligence Committee. National Security Agency Director Gen. Keith Alexander, meanwhile, testified that the programs helped stop more than 50 "potential terrorist events" since the 9/11 attacks. Alexander said he would provide classified details on all of the plots to committee lawmakers on Wednesday. Get More at NBC News
