NEW YORK — New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he is skeptical that the federal government would cover the cost of trying Sept. 11 suspects in Manhattan, a day after President Barack Obama said he had not ruled out holding the trial in New York.

Bloomberg said Monday he wants the Obama administration to guarantee it will help pay for the added security and other infrastructure the city would have to provide for the trial of professed 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four alleged accomplices.

A Justice Department spokesman declined to comment.
