SMS Alert Text:

Security increasing across all five boroughs of NYC in advance on NYC Marathon on Sunday, Nov 3. DHS/FBI/NYPD on alert flwg ISIS threats and calls for attacks.

Supplemental Info:

In the wake of the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement earlier this afternoon that it is "operating at a heightened state of vigilance" as it and other agencies assess the potential for retaliation against al-Baghdadi’s death from terror cells or ISIS sympathizers in the U.S., though a specific threat has yet to be identified.

"Our security posture will remain agile, we will continue to mitigate and respond to the ever evolving threat landscape."
