THE TERRORISM BEAT.(New York Department of Police)
They meet every morning: Raymond W. Kelly, New York City's Police Commissioner; David Cohen, the Deputy Commissioner for Intelligence; and Michael Sheehan, the Deputy Commissioner for Counter Terrorism. At these sessions, held at One Police Plaza, in a room known as the executive command center, Kelly is briefed on overnight developments related to terrorism. One morning, I was allowed to sit in.
"Suicide bombing in Pakistan," Cohen said. "Details." He slid a sheet of paper to Kelly. "I put Hercules out on three Shiite mosques for the day."
Hercules is a set of police antiterror teams. The team members carry heavy weapons, and they turn up without warning at sites all over the city, for reasons never shared with the public.
"New al-Zawahiri video, went up last night on Al Jazeera. Mentions the U.S."
Kelly nodded, studying the report on the mosque deployments.
"Morty's back from Moscow," Cohen went on. "His report's worth your browsing."
Morty is Mordecai Dzikansky, a New York City homicide detective, currently stationed near Tel Aviv. (The N.Y.P.D. also has officers based, these strange days, in Singapore, Britain, Canada, and France.) He went to Russia to learn what he could from the school massacre at Beslan, in September, 2004. Dzikansky told me, when we met, that he'd been on the scene of thirteen suicide bombings in Israel, and that he learns something every time. Dzikansky is fast. He was in Istanbul within hours of the bombings of the city's synagogues in November of 2003. Four other New York City detectives were on a 9 a.m. flight to London after the morning rush-hour blasts there earlier this month.
