The Federal Bureau of Investigation is reportedly investigating a potential terrorist threat within the United States, possibly inspired by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

Law enforcement officials told CNN on Saturday the probe started with intercepted communication and other intelligence information lending to the belief of a possible plot.

One official said the probe focused on areas of California where security has been raised, though no arrests have been made and the seriousness of the threat is unclear, according to CNN.

ISIS has called on sympathizers around the world to launch attacks against the U.S., though none have done so successfully. Still, the reported probe shows officials are taking a potential domestic threat seriously.

FBI Director James Comey has said investigations of suspected ISIS supporters are underway in all 50 states.

Officials said this threat wasn't necessarily related to aviation, CNN reported, despite the Transportation Security Administration having alerted local law enforcement for airports' security.

TSA sent out a general classified alert Friday afternoon that only mentioned the time of an attack but nothing about location or the type of potential attack, according to The Intercept. Airports in Los Angeles and Southern California have stepped up their security, per NBC News.

I know what will prevent it.

Lets ship more muslims into the country! /s

Their book teaches muslims that they must seek worldwide submission to Islam.

Infidels have three choices under Islam.
Convert
Submit and pay the jizya
Die

Islam teaches their followers that there can only be peace when there is only Islam.

Or there can be peace when there is no Islam.

If they try to pull off a Beslan school or a Kenyan Westgate Mall attack that will drive everyone over the edge.

The fact that it took Judicial Watch to find the ISIS camp 6 miles off our border with Mexico near Juarez to stimulate the FBI top brass to visit the reason last week and try to find out who leaked the info should send shivers up the spine of every America-loving patriot...our country is in deep shiit because of the White House Muslim and we all know it except our leaders in Congress who are mesmerized by their power and newly found wealth..............pigs,all of them!

[petenmi]

I would hope that would be the case but what we’ll probably have is more interfaith prayer dialog services, politicians telling us how Islam is a religion of peace, authorities telling the public that any retribution will be dealt with harshly, liberal calls for better security, teddy bear and balloon memorials and candle vigils.

TSA sent out a general classified alert Friday afternoon that only mentioned the time of an attack .... and they told the screeners to keep paying special attention to little old ladies in sandals and baby milk.

I told my wife yesterday that it’s just a matter of time before pork, and pictures of pigs, is outlawed.

I predict the Arkansas Razorbacks will change it’s mascot after this season.

With many hundreds of mideastern immigrants driving vehicles in and around those venues, I guess that's understandable.

[Pining_4_TX]

Unless we ban Islam and deport Muslims, they will be a threat to us. Instead, our government is preparing to bring in thousands more Iraqi “refugees”, as well as Syrians and Somalians.

Nothing we do in the Middle East matters if we bring the enemy here. It’s insane.

Obama let them in ON PURPOSE. The Leftist college leaders are promoting their cause of death and destruction to students.

I have zero confidence in obammy’s FBI.
Like every other federal gubmint agency I believe they have been compromised by his garbage cronies.
