Rainbow Bridge terror attack: Car explosion comes two days after NY Governor issued warning about increased chatter

A car has exploded on Rainbow Bridge in Niagra Falls today, just two days after New York Governor Kathy Hochul issued a warning about increased chatter.

The massive explosion that took place at a toll checkpoint and killed two people is suspected to be the result of a terrorist attack.

CBS News reported that on Monday Hochul has already taken action to heighten security and increase staffing of the Joint Terrorism Task Force as a direct result of the escalting violence in the Middle East.

'I am working hard at the state level with the control I have. I'll be talking about this tomorrow, about exactly what we're doing, and how many online threats we've uncovered, how many have been investigated, what the outcome is,' said Hochul.
