Check this article to see how Reuters tries to downplay this threat. They didn't succeed as this statement was in the Reuters article:

At a news conference in Baltimore, FBI Special Agent Kevin Perkins said while the information was "somewhat specific as to date and time ... no evidence collected to date has corroborated the threat as it's going on." (snip)

He also said closing the tunnel was "just one aspect" of the investigation and said there was

***"an awful lot of other things ongoing,"***

(emphasis added)

but he declined to be more specific.
