Report: New credible terror threats

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30 (UPI) -- The Department of Homeland Security has received new credible threats of airliner hijackings that could force more canceled flights, CBS reported Friday.

Although there are no plans at present to raise the terror threat level back to "orange," precautions are being taken, homeland security officials tell CBS.

The latest threats are similar to those over the Christmas holiday period that suggested attempts would be made to hijack British Air and Air France jetliners flying into the United States for possible attacks against Washington and Los Angeles.

Several flights British Air flights were either delayed or canceled during that period while the threat level was elevated a level.

The threats to use international flights to the United States for suicide attacks come during a period of high security precautions to protect the Houston site of Sunday's Super Bowl.
