NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- The NYPD said it’s keeping an eye on “critical communication infrastructure locations” in New York City a day after an RV exploded in downtown Nashville on Christmas morning.
“Since the Nashville bombing, the NYPD Counterterrorism Bureau Critical Response Command has been providing special attention to critical communication infrastructure locations,” the department said in a statement.
“We are closely monitoring the Nashville investigation through our Intelligence Bureau, our FBI partners on the Joint Terrorism Task Force, the ATF and the Department of Homeland Security,” the statement continued.
Authorities in Tennessee have been searching for the person or people responsible for planting a bomb in a recreational vehicle that exploded along a mostly deserted street in Nashville on Friday. Three people were injured.
Federal investigators have identified a person of interest in connection with the explosion and were searching a home associated with that person, law enforcement officials said Saturday.
Investigators from multiple federal and local law enforcement agencies were at a home in Antioch, in suburban Nashville, after receiving information relevant to the investigation, FBI Special Agent Jason Pack said.
Another law enforcement official, who was not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity, said investigators regard a person associated with the property as a person of interest in the bombing.
Earlier Saturday, investigators said at a news conference they are looking at a number of individuals who may be connected to the bombing but have also found no additional explosive devices- indicating no active threat to the area.
