HTN: Questions in Mayoral Threat Probe

Questions have come up in an investigation of a critic of Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown. Did Mayor Brown use the Buffalo Police Department to go after a political enemy, or if was the safety of the mayor and his family actually threatened? The Breckenridge Avenue home of Syaed Ali was raided about three months ago. Ali reportedly maintains friendships with some of Mayor Brown's political enemies. E-mails were sent to media outlets last year, demanding the resignations of Mayor Brown and Deputy Steven Casey, alleging "a number of improprieties." A police spokesman says the safety and security of the mayor and his family could be at stake. The investigation is ongoing.
