New York City continues to be at the risk of a terrorist attack even after the killing of al-Qaida�s longtime chief Osama bin Laden, city police chief said on Sunday.

�The elimination of Osama bin Laden was an important milestone, but not a game-changer. We�re still very much at risk,� New York City Police Chief Ray Kelly told the ABC news in an interview.

�We�re concerned, as we get closer to the 9/11/11 memorial, because we know Osama bin Laden spoke about that date twice in the last two-year period,� he said.

He was apparently referring to the information obtained from the materials seized from the Abbottabad residence of bin Laden, in which the al-Qaida leader was reportedly planning to have a major terrorist attack on New York City on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of 9/11.

�In fact, just a few days before the Norway massacre, we had a teleconference with our century partners�this is 100 law enforcement agencies in the northeast quadrant of the country�and that was the specific subject. We talked about certain groups and individuals that we�re concerned about,� he said.
