NEW YORK, Oct 6 (Reuters) - New York City has received threats against its subway system and is adding extra police officers to protect the transit system, said Tom Kelly, the mass transit agency's spokesman.

"My understanding is there are threats against the system," Kelly said. "We're deploying additional police and canine units as is the New York Police Department."

Kelly declined to comment on any details about the threats. Mayor Michael Bloomberg and police chief Ray Kelly also declined to comment on the threat but were set to hold a brief briefing.
