Police increase JFK security but say tip `unsubstantiated' Quote:
Police said they increased security around a John F. Kennedy International Airport terminal, a nearby gas station and a city clerk's office in Queens after receiving a tip about a possible terror threat.
The tip was unsubstantiated but merited a precautionary response, police Commissioner Ray Kelly said Tuesday.
"The credibility of the source is unknown and not seen to be particularly high," he said.
The alleged plot was to be launched from Albany by terrorists who were to infiltrate the United States from Ontario, Canada, according to an internal police memorandum.
