WASHINGTON — The nation’s top homeland security official urged shoppers on Sunday to be “particularly careful” in visiting the Mall of America, a sprawling shopping center outside Minneapolis, after it was targeted for a terrorist attack in a video posted by a radical Islamist group.

“If anyone is planning to go to the Mall of America today, they’ve got to be particularly careful,” the official, Jeh C. Johnson, the secretary of Homeland Security, said on CNN.

Should be a call to arms, not patronizing advice to "be careful."

In a sane America, that is ...

The Islamist terrorists don’t issue warnings about where they’re going to attack.

So who is it this time? Amish, Knights of Columbus, Tea Partiers, bakers and florist that won’t work gay weddings, Christian Crusaders?

I fear mass death at the hands of Islamic Wahhabi Sunni allowed in our country. Get ready.

[CondorFlight]

Whoever it is, it won’t be people who represent Islam (sarc/off)

[Tailback]

Let me guess. Mall of America has signs outside that say “No concealed carry allowed”. Am I right?

This looks suspiciously like a fabricated “threat” to keep the Repubicas from cutting off DHS funds so Obama’s Free Stuff for Illegals program can be funded. They lie to get ther way all the time.

They post. But, by law, they cannot.

Al-Shabab in Somalia has made a statement calling for attacks on malls in several countries, including the United States. Somalis live in large numbers in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area......

“If anyone is planning to go to the Mall of America today, they’ve got to be particularly careful,” the official, Jeh C. Johnson, the secretary of Homeland Security, said on CNN.

He's head of DHS and that's all he's got?

[Nextrush]

A news conference underway in Canada right now regarding threat to mall in Edmonton.

The government types are hyping a reported threat this afternoon that’s in the MSM media stream right now.
