In an interview aired Sunday on CBS’ "60 Minutes,” Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said the NYPD had the means to pull off such a counter-attack.
"Yes, I prefer not to get into the details but obviously this would be in a very extreme situation," Kelly told Scott Pelley referring to an anti-aircraft attack.
