 NEW YORK (AP) - After four days on high alert, police announced Monday that they were scaling back a subway security crackdown prompted by a report of an al-Qaida plot to blow up trains.
Authorities said the arrest and interrogation of three suspects by U.S. forces in Iraq had so far produced no information to corroborate the report.
"Things were moving in the right direction," Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly told reporters at the Columbus Day Parade. "We're going to slowly reduce our coverage to what it was pre-Oct. 6."
