MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Al-Qaeda could be planning terrorist attacks for November 7 in Texas, Virginia and New York, the media reported.
“The FBI, working with our federal, state and local counterparts, shares and assesses intelligence on a daily basis and will continue to work closely with law enforcement and intelligence community partners to identify and disrupt any potential threat to public safety,” a senior FBI official told CBS News.
According to the television network, the US authorities are taking the threat seriously, although its credibility has not been confirmed.
