Fort Hamilton anti-terror unit sent to Boston bombing site
Members of an elite anti-terror unit from Brooklyn’s Fort Hamilton Army Base were deployed to Boston to assist in the recovery effort following the horrific April 15 bombing, a lawmaker has revealed.
US Rep. Michael Grimm (R-C-Bay Ridge-Staten Island) said members of the 24th National Guard Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Defense Team went to Boston after the bombing.
“The 24th National Guard WMD-CST team has done exceptional job, not just in New York, but also in Boston where they were on the ground responding to the horrific attack on the marathon,” Grimm said on April 16.
