WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is investigating a possible Islamic State-inspired terrorism plot in the United States, CNN reported yesterday, quoting law enforcement officials.
A Federal law enforcement official who asked not to be named said there was a known threat to Los Angeles International Airport, but did not say whether this was a new threat or was associated with Islamic State.
CNN said the investigation started after intercepted communication and other intelligence information that led officials to believe that a plot could be under way.
The network quoted an official as saying the plot focused on parts of California and that officials there had stepped up security.
