During a recent visit to the National Counterterrorism Center, President Barack Obama said that there is no “specific, or credible terror threat” against the United States.
From The Hill:
“President Obama said during a high-profile visit to the National Counterterrorism Center on Thursday that there is no specific or credible terrorist threat against the U.S.
‘At this moment, our intelligence and counterterrorism do not have any specific and credible information about an attack on our homeland,’ Obama said after receiving an update on terror threats from more than two dozen top national security officials.
Obama, however, urged a jittery public to remain ‘vigilant’ about the possibility of lone-wolf attacks like the one that was carried out earlier this month in San Bernardino, Calif., an event he said marked a ‘new phase’ in the nature of threats against the nation.
He also reassured Americans that the government’s counterterrorism officials are doing all they can to sniff out terror plots during the busy holiday travel season.
‘I want every American to know as you go about the holidays … we’ve got dedicated patriots working around the clock all across the country to protect us all,’ he said.
