From the ABCnews website:

"Sources say the threat involves a suicide bomber, possibly a female. The information was received through communication intercepts, and no specific target has been identified. Discussions between local and federal law enforcement officials are currently underway to develop a response.

Officials around the nation were already actively engaged with the Department of Homeland Security in serious discussions about whether events, chatter, and the time of year warrant elevating the threat level inside the US to Orange for the upcoming holiday season that starts tonight at sunset."
