New York City said Monday it was reducing subway
security to the level before last week's reported
threat.
	
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Information that led to
heightened security for the New York City transit
system was a hoax, government sources said
Tuesday.

The sources said an informant in Iraq who
provided the tip had told investigators there was
a terrorist plot involving New York's subway
system. That informant admitted he gave false
information, the sources said.
