APPLE ON GUARD FOR CAR BOMBS By MURRAY WEISS, LARRY CELONA and PHILIP MESSING -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- November 16, 2002 -- The new FBI terror alert won't change anything in the city - we're already "at a higher level of alert than the rest of the country," Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said yesterday. And a major focus of the NYPD's attention is the possible use of car or truck bombs by al Qaeda operatives and their sympathizers, sources said. They said NYPD cops and officers with MTA Bridges and Tunnels and the Port Authority are posted at all bridges and tunnels checking for vehicles that might be packed with explosives. A recent B&T alert directed officers to take a particularly close look at cement trucks, trucks and vans with darkened windows, all rental vehicles and all vehicles covered with graffiti, sources said. And still in effect is an earlier alert to be on the lookout for replica or stolen cop cars, ambulances and firetrucks that may have been converted into vehicular bombs. Truck bombs are "a very large concern" because it's not that easy to track explosives and material used to make explosives, noted a Justice Department official. And, he said, "it's more of a headache in a place like New York because there are just so many people." Another source said officials are particularly concerned about the propensity of Islamic terrorists to go after targets they failed to destroy in earlier attempts.
