NEW YORK: The US Secret Service said on Tuesday it had dismantled a network of sophisticated electronic devices in the New York area that had been used to threaten US government officials as foreign leaders gather this week for the UN General Assembly.
The agency said the devices were concentrated within 35 miles (56 km) of the global meeting of the 193-member assembly, where US President Donald Trump was due to deliver a speech on Tuesday.
“Early analysis indicates cellular communications between nation-state threat actors and individuals that are known to federal law enforcement,” the Secret Service said in a statement.
