[Breitbart] The government is warning that law enforcement officers and the military could be the target of attacks during the Fourth of July holiday.
CBS News reports that Friday the FBI and Department of Homeland Security issued a bulletin warning of possible attacks. The outlet notes that the bulletin is unrelated to the attacks in France, Tunisia and Kuwait.
The bulletin comes as DHS Sec. Jeh Johnson encourages vigilance over the July Fourth holiday in the wake of Friday's attacks abroad.
"Particularly with the upcoming July 4th holiday, here in the United States the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI continue to communicate with state and local law enforcement about what we know and see," Johnson said in a statement voicing support for the people of France, Tunisia, and Kuwait following the terrorist attacks in those countries.
"We are encouraging all law enforcement to be vigilant and prepared. We will also adjust security measures, seen and unseen, as necessary to protect the American people," he added.
Are the 'measures' to include a ban on fireworks displays, parades, marching band music, and the provocative American flag ? |
