FBI and NYPD raid home in Queens for bomb materials

CBS and NYDailyNews.com report that as part of a joint terror task force investigation, the FBI and NYPD raided homes in Queens, NY amid terror threats and pursuant to a search warrant. One of the homes belonged to an Assad Niazi, a self-employed antiques dealer, who insisted that he was not the target of the search but “has roommates that may have been targeted.”

“The raids came after an individual under surveillance for alleged links to al-Qaida came to New York City over the weekend and left the area, Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., said.”
