Federal and City Agents Raid New York Apartments
------------------------------------------------



In New York, federal and city counterterrorism agents raided at least
two apartments in Queens Monday in what was described as a preventive
act. No arrests were made and no explosives or other weapons were found.
The New York Times reported the raid occurred after a man of Afghan
descent, under surveillance because of suspected al-Qaeda ties, visited
New York City over the weekend and then left.
