Terror Threat Spreads to the U.S.: San Francisco on High Alert

[Geee]

Town Hall:

The State Department officially announced late Sunday that many U.S. Embassies around the world will remain closed for an additional week as chatter from al Qaeda continues. A travel warning to Americans is also in effect until the end of August for Middle Eastern Muslim countries and now, authorities are taking extra cautions inside the United States as threats grow louder.

 

The Department of Homeland Security is beefing up its presence at airports, train stations and other travel hubs in the United States in the wake of global travel warning imposed on all U.S. citizens.

 

Local authorities are not going into specifics but the San Francisco Police Department does acknowledge receiving a bulletin by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and DHS. The SFPD says their officers are monitoring various areas of the city and will determine if additional resources are necessary.

 

They say they have the ability to rapidly deploy and redeploy resources as the department deems necessary.
