Update:
FBI Assistant Director Mark Mershon said the plot had already been partly thwarted. "Classified operations have in fact partially disrupted this threat," he said. "We continue to work around the clock to fully resolve this threat."
Asked about reports that the intelligence came from the arrest of three people in Iraq, Mershon said, "Our operations are classified, and we cannot discuss them."
