Informant: Subway Plot No Hoax

Suspected Cohorts Failed Lie Detector Tests, But Original Source Maintains Threat Was Real

Oct. 11, 2005 — The original informant who prompted the terror alert on New York City's subways last week is sticking to his story, and there is no basis to conclude the threat was a hoax, sources involved in the investigation of the plot told ABC News.

When last spoken to by interrogators, the original informant has remained firm in his statement that there was in fact a plot.

"He has not recanted nor in any way said anything to indicate that he believes his original info was false," an official told ABC News.

Those reports said three men arrested in Iraq with suspected links to the possible plot had been interviewed and underwent lie detector tests that showed they knew nothing about such a plan.

But as of earlier today, authorities had not spoken to the original informant since the three captives were interrogated and told authorities there was no plot.

Does anyone else think it odd that their "reliable source' has not been talked to about the Iraq "terrorist links" info not holding up?
