Officials: No credible threats target US after Paris attacks

NEW YORK (AP) - Intelligence officials found no evidence of any specific or credible threat targeting American soil following the deadly Paris attacks, U.S. officials told The Associated Press. Still patrols were stepped up and added security measures put in place nationwide.

In New York, officers with assault rifles stood guard in Times Square, and extra security was stationed at French-owned sites in Washington and consulates in Boston and New York City. But elsewhere around the country, like at Minnesota's Mall of America, it was business as usual.

Dozens of police cars left Times Square with lights and sirens blaring Saturday afternoon when the New York Police Department deployed its "Critical Response Command" - officers equipped with heavy weapons and other tactical equipment - to strategic locations, including transportation hubs and the Broadway theater district. Officers with radiation detectors and bomb-detecting equipment were sent to subway stations where they randomly conducted bag checks.

Los Angeles police said they knew of no threats against the city, but the department beefed up patrols at what it called critical sites, including a Snoop Dogg concert.

No thugs at a Snoopy Dogg Dogg event? Could be a first.

Is that the same as Obuttmouth saying ISIS is contained, the day they rampage Paris?

Wonderful theatrics. While quietly 10,000 ...cough,cough..Syrian ....cough, cough....refugees are delivered to New Orleans. You think Katrina was bad, wait for this to settle in. Muslims and Mardi Gras won’t mix.

I am confident, we will hear some government official stating: “There is no credible terrorist threat” about five minutes or less before the attack.

That is because we have ISIS contained. Just ask our Muslim Golfer In Chief. He will tell you.

I'm thinking the French didn't see this coming just as America was blind sided by 911.

The only real answer to American’s security...allow Americans to carry side / long arms openly.

The police do a wonderful job...at investigating and arresting, but very seldom deter crime.

It is MY responsibility to protect MYSELF and MY family.

Just as the theater shootings here in America, if folks in France had CHL’s, someone or a group of someones could have stopped this madness before so many lost their lives.

Can you imagine, sitting somewhere totally unarmed, helpless and this unfolding right before your eyes and you have no way to defend yourself, no way to defend your daughter sitting next to you. Good grief!

Thank God for Texas!

If you had asked “intelligence officials” on the day before any terrorist attack since the Clinton administration if there were any credible threats they would have said the same thing.

No credible threats?Just know credible threats that the U.S. Government is aware of.

Sort of like the French government not being aware of terrorist running around with explosive belts and fully automatic AK-47 rifles.

I forgot,That it’s next to impossible to even own a firearm in France but Friday’s terrorist attack just proves that terrorist will get weapons where ever they can and they won’t be semiautomatic sporting arms that most Americans possess.

Of course there isn’t. Obama’s intelligence said ISIS was “contained” right before Paris. How could anyone believe anything his people say?
