Four stabbings at Times Square, New York subway

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Two women tourists were stabbed near Times Square in New York and a man knifed in a separate subway attack early on Wednesday, police and prosecutors said.

The attacks followed a stabbing on Tuesday of a tourist from Texas on a subway train on the city's Upper West Side.

A man was being questioned in the stabbings of the women shortly after 4 a.m. Wednesday outside a hotel on Broadway, a police spokesman said. The two, aged 22 and 25, were stabbed in the back and hospitalized in stable condition.

The spokesman said police were investigating whether that attack was linked to the two other stabbings.

About an hour earlier on Wednesday morning, a man was stabbed on the platform of the subway station at Rockefeller Center, police said. That victim was also was stable.

On Tuesday afternoon, a 21-year-old man was stabbed in the chest on a subway train at West 110th Street, police said.

The victim's girlfriend told the Daily News tabloid the attacker, a short man dressed in black, did not try to rob the couple, tourists from Texas.

"All of a sudden, he gets up. He doesn't walk over. He's leaping over," the woman, who asked not to be identified by name, was quoted as saying. The attacker fled the train, on the C line, at the next stop and got away.

The attacks came days after a report by the FBI on violent crime in the United States showed New York was getting safer.

Over the past decade, city authorities have changed the face of Times Square and other areas of Manhattan with tough policies on crime that led to a sharp reduction in muggings and other violent crimes in tourist areas.

The New York murder rate of 6.7 per 100,000 people is among the lowest of major cities in the United States, with less than half as many murders per capita as in Miami, Dallas, Chicago and Houston, according to a report in The New York Times

Al Qaeda's cyanide plot against N.Y. subway>

An al Qaeda plot to fill the New York subway system with poisonous gas was called off by an lieutenant to Osama bin Laden, according to a new book by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Ron Suskind. The author details the plot and how U.S. intelligence found out about it. When the CIA followed directions found on a captured computer, they found the poison easy to make and deliver, Suskind writes.

Al-Qaeda terrorists came within 45 days of attacking the New York subway system with a lethal gas similar to that used in Nazi death camps. They were stopped not by any intelligence breakthrough, but by an order from Osama bin Laden's deputy, Ayman Zawahiri. And the U.S. learned of the plot from a CIA mole inside al-Qaeda. These are some of the more startling revelations by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Ron Suskind, whose new book The One Percent Doctrine is excerpted in the forthcoming issue of TIME. It will appear on Time.com early Sunday morning.
