New Terror Threat? 'Cards' Mailed In NYC Warning Of Terror Attacks

This is disturbing, to say the least - especially when we consider this is NYC and the favorite target on American soil for jihadist attacks. Look at the new threat that is hitting NYC via the article here at the NY Post:

NYPD detectives are investigating a chilling new terror threat - a series of cards from a "New York Jihad" that look like birthday-party invitations but warn of bombs in lower Manhattan this summer, The Post has learned.
The cards were mailed last week to the homes of seven city residents, including former Fox News television producer Kelley Vick and a person in the 26th Police Precinct, which covers West Harlem, according to Vick and police sources.
The card reads: "Bombs! Bombs! Bombs! Lower Manhattan. July, August, September. New York Jihad."
Vick, a news producer who left Fox in early July, got the creepy mailing Thursday. She said it arrived at her Chelsea building but did not list her apartment number and had no return address. She went to police on Friday.
"It says, 'You're invited to a party, so put on a happy face,' " she said. "There were faces of an elephant, a monkey, like cartoon animals.

I don't think there is anyone in America that won't take this seriously but the mailing of it is rather odd. Since when do jihadists target the media to "invite" them to a bombing or an attack? And with just a few days left of July, it appears that window is probably gone but the case still stands that whoever mailed these out has to know what penalty they would face if they were caught sending these.

Now, I personally think this sounds more like anarchists than some sort of islamic jihad cell in NYC and my guess is this is some nutcases capitalizing on the Republican and Democratic national conventions going on in the time frame they spell out here but I'm sure the authorities in NYC will view this as legitimate and go to any length to find the scum that sent these out.

TERROR THREAT IS IN THE CARDS

NYPD detectives are investigating a chilling new terror threat - a series of cards from a "New York Jihad" that look like birthday-party invitations but warn of bombs in lower Manhattan this summer, The Post has learned.
The cards were mailed last week to the homes of seven city residents, including former Fox News television producer Kelley Vick and a person in the 26th Police Precinct, which covers West Harlem, according to Vick and police sources.
The card reads: "Bombs! Bombs! Bombs! Lower Manhattan. July, August, September. New York Jihad."
Vick, a news producer who left Fox in early July, got the creepy mailing Thursday. She said it arrived at her Chelsea building but did not list her apartment number and had no return address. She went to police on Friday.
"It says, 'You're invited to a party, so put on a happy face,' " she said. "There were faces of an elephant, a monkey, like cartoon animals.
"Then you open the card, and inside is a piece of periwinkle paper and space for the date and time. That's where it says, 'Bombs! Bombs! Bombs!' in fancy type.
"My name is printed on the envelope. The stamp is green with a heart. Everything about it is like a cute little party invitation. It's really weird."
She said the postmark showed it had been sent Wednesday from Brooklyn.
Vick took the card and envelope to the 10th Precinct station house, where she met with a sergeant who works with the NYPD's Intelligence Division and who determined that the card was mailed about 2 p.m. Wednesday, she said.
"He said part of the postal code was missing."
Police told her another person had received the same card Wednesday. A detective called her Friday night and said a total of six others got it as well, she said.
Vick, who gave The Post a copy of the card, told cops she'd worked for Fox, helping produce shows for the news network's weekend line-up. She now works as a freelance journalist.
"The detective said he was going to check with the other people and see if they worked in the media," she said.
Investigators took the card and envelope and were set to test them for fingerprints and DNA evidence, police sources said.
"It's serious," said one source. "It's being investigated."
They are also looking closely at the postmarks and which stores sell the types of cards that were sent, sources added
