The United Nations gathering will take place next week amid an uptick in political violence both at home and abroad.
The United Nations flag waves during preparations for the UNGA 2023 at the United Nations headquarters, Sept. 13, 2023, in New York.While New York City police insist there are no credible threats to this year's United Nations General Assembly, law enforcement officials are concerned the annual gathering of world leaders next week comes amid an uptick in political violence both at home and abroad.
"There are no credible threats to the UN General Assembly and New York City in general," NYPD Police Commissioner Edward Caban said Thursday at a briefing outside U.N. headquarters on Manhattan's East Side. However, a confidential NYPD bulletin distributed this month and obtained by ABC News said there is particular concern about "multiple recent attacks involving firearms and IEDs targeting high-ranking public officials globally."
