********* ******* attacks alarm US intelligence, NYPD briefing shows

******* States intelligence and police officials are alarmed by two unrelated ******* attacks in Europe last weekend and what those attacks say about the current threat environment in the U.S., according to a New York Police Department briefing obtained by ABC News.

“There is no initial indication that the two attacks are linked, however, both incidents underscore the current complex and elevated terrorism/targeted ********* threat environment as well as the persistent challenge of low-tech tactics being used against vulnerable targets, including public gatherings and houses of worship,” the briefing said.

“While there are no early indications that these two attacks — which occurred in different countries, focused on separate targets, and leveraged distinct low-tech tactics — are related, they nevertheless underscore the complex and dynamic threat landscape which is comprised of malicious actors from across the ideological spectrum and exacerbated by tense global flashpoints, including the ongoing *******-****** war,” the document said.

The NYPD said the attacks will likely resonate with malicious actors, “serving as tactical/targeting inspiration for follow-on acts of terrorism and targeted *********.”
