NEW YORK — The arrest in Colorado last week of Najibullah Zazi on charges of plotting to attack New York City gives added urgency to the city’s pleas for federal funding to deter nuclear attacks, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and area lawmakers said at a news conference Sunday.
“Despite the incredible job the NYPD is doing, our city does remain a prime target for terrorists,” Bloomberg said.
Bloomberg and other officials want Congress to give $40 million for a program to ring the region with sensors to detect radioactive material.
