NEW YORK -- The NYPD said Wednesday it was aware of a newly-released ISIS video that makes reference to Times Square, but also said there was no specific threat to the city.

CBS New York reported the video, which was posted by several sources Wednesday afternoon, began with footage of French President François Hollande following the terror attacks in Paris last Friday, along with remarks from militants.

In what appeared to be a threat directed at the U.S., Times Square was shown along with New York City taxis and several Midtown locations, interspersed with what appeared to be a man preparing an explosive device and strapping it to himself.

The video does not show a suicide bomber or militant in New York.

The NYPD said it was aware of the video, and will remain vigilant.

"While some of the video footage is not new, the video reaffirms the message that New York City remains a top terrorist target," NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Public Information Stephen Davis said in a statement.

"While there is no current or specific threat to the City at this time, we will remain at a heightened state of vigilance and will continue to work with the FBI, the Joint Terrorism Task Force and the entire intelligence community to keep the City of New York safe," Davis said. "In addition, we are continuing to deploy additional Critical Response Command (CRC) teams throughout the City, out of an abundance of caution."

The FBI released a statement echoing that "there is no specific articulable threat to the city at this time" and that the Joint Terrorism Task Force "continues to vigilantly work with NYPD and our other law enforcement partners to keep our community safe and fully investigate any threat information."

"Stoking fear is the goal of terrorist organizations, but New York City will not be intimidated," New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said in a statement. "The NYPD is the most capable police force in the country, with a robust counterterrorism operation that was just strengthened with an investment of 500 additional officers."

"While Times Square and Herald Square appear in the video, the NYPD in conjunction with all of our partners are taking all necessary security precautions in these areas and areas across the City," the mayor said. "New Yorkers won't live in fear and people should continue to go to work, live their lives, and enjoy the greatest city in the world"

In the days since the Paris attacks, New York authorities report an increase in calls to 911 about such things as suspicious behaviors and abandoned bags and packages

These cowards still talking shit. It's time the world shut them up.

Don't understand your logic..So this video exists (probably easy to find via the web) but the media shouldn't broadcast this apparent threat?..However it turns out to be real and an attack does take place..What happens when the investigation reveals that there was intelligence suggesting it was going to happen..Castigate the media and government for not warning its people?

Its not intelligence, its a propaganda video designed to scare people.

Strategically, they know they can't win. So what do they do? They try to scare us and cost us money.

Prime example, this threat. How much did this cost for extra security in Time Square? How many resources did it tie up? How much fear did it generate? Over a video that cost nothing to produce.
