Police in New York say they are aware of a newly released ISIL video suggesting the largest US city will be a potential target of attacks like Paris. Bratton made the remarks in a press conference with New York Mayor Bill de Blasio. De Blasio said there is no specific and credible threat against the city. He said New York City's 35,000 strong police force, which is the country's largest, is working tirelessly to keep the city safe. The ISIL video, which runs for nearly six minutes, includes a scene that appears to show a suicide bomber making preparations and zipping up a jacket. The clip briefly shows New York’s Times Square and Herald Square.

The family of a black man who was killed by US police says there’s new evidence that his murder was an execution and that the police department covered it up. Lawyers of the family of Mohamed Bah say after 18 months of investigation, they now have enough evidence that his murder was not a case of self-defense. They also say they can prove that the New York police department actively lied to cover up for his murder. The 28-year-old African American was shot and killed inside his apartment by police officers in September 2012. Autopsy showed Bah was hit seven times with one in the side of his head, which was fired from close range. His mother says she had called the police to ask for an ambulance because her son was acting erratically, but she was surprised to see police, not medical personnel, show up.
