Law-enforcement authorities anticipate a possible assassination attempt against the Staten Island man suspected of gunning down mob boss Francesco \u201cFranky Boy\u201d Cali, sources told The Post on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Officials haven\u2019t confirmed that the Gambino crime family has posted a bounty on Anthony Comello, but \u201cthe general feeling is that there\u2019s an \u2018X\u2019 on this guy\u2019s back,\u201d one source said.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s going to have some issues in jail,\u201d a high-ranking NYPD official said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe there\u2019s some guys who are wiseguys in jail who will show their allegiance to the Gambinos and say, \u2018We\u2019ll take care of this guy.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n

Sources said Cali\u2019s gangland cronies would likely wait until Comello, 24, was serving time in an upstate prison before making an attempt on his life.<\/p>\n

But that wouldn\u2019t prevent another inmate from taking matters into his own hands to try to score a reward or simply to boost his reputation behind bars, sources said.<\/p>\n

Comello is locked up in New Jersey\u2019s Ocean County Jail pending charges in Wednesday night\u2019s fatal shooting of Cali, 53, outside his home at 25 Hilltop Terrace in the Todt Hill section of Staten Island.<\/p>\n\n

Investigators believe the execution-style slaying may have been revenge for Cali preventing his niece from dating Comello, sources have said.<\/p>\n

Cali was shot 10 times after being lured outside by a killer who used a pickup truck to intentionally ram the mafia don\u2019s parked Cadillac Escalade SUV.<\/p>\n

Comello, a construction worker, was tracked down and taken into custody on Saturday at his family\u2019s waterfront vacation home in Brick Township, New Jersey.<\/p>\n

Once he arrives in the Big Apple, city correction officials will likely ask Comello, \u201cDo you want protection? Do you feel threatened?\u201d a source said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf he does, they\u2019ll put him in segregation. They might just do it anyway just out of an abundance of caution,\u201d the source added.<\/p>\n
