New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said that the police force is remaining vigilant and on alert after two bombs exploded at embassies in Rome on Thursday.

Although there are no specific threats against the city, Kelly said, the NYPD is not taking any chances.

“We’re on top of the terrorist target list. That’s the world in which we live. This is not new news for us,” Kelly said.

It’s a world where, Friday, two embassies in Rome were hit with package bombs. First the Swiss emassy and then the Chilean. Two employees who opened the packages are in serious condition. Italy’s foreigh minister called the attacks deplorable acts of violence.
