US tracking terror group threats during holidays
None
Counterterrorism officials are tracking threats to the US and Europe from al-Qaeda and affiliated groups during the holiday season but have not yet seen evidence of specific plots aimed at the US, authorities said.
The FBI and Homeland Security Department have alerted state and local law enforcement to be wary of suspicious behavior and to regularly change security measures to interfere with any terrorist plans. The warning was sent in a Dec. 15 bulletin obtained by The Associated Press. It did not include information about specific plots or intelligence. (AP)
