The Department of Homeland Security and the FBI were warning law enforcement Friday about the possibility of terrorist threats around the Fourth of July, unnamed authorities told CNN Friday. Officials circulated a joint intelligence bulletin that does not discuss "any known active threats," but does sound the alert about the potential for "heightened threats," CNN reported.

Separately, DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson issued a public statement, expressing support for victims of the terrorist attacks that struck France, Tunisia and Kuwait on Friday, while also urging vigilance in the U.S. "Particularly with the upcoming July Fourth 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 stated. "We are encouraging all law enforcement to be vigilant and prepared."

The NATIONAL TERRORISM ADVISORY SYSTEM (NTAS) effectively communicates information about terrorist threats by providing timely, detailed information to the public, government agencies, first responders, airports and other transportation hubs, and the private sector.

It is only a matter of time before the next attack on US soil. You would think that people would wake up after it happens. But of course, they will not. The governement will give the attack some stupid label so they don't have to call it a terrorist attack and they don't hurt some groups feelings. Our government is so week. I love my country but our government officiials are cowards.

Aren't we always under 'possible' terrorist attacks? I won't live my life in fear of 'possible' attacks.

Side Note: Since there's a warning for 4th of July, a smart terrorist may want to strike on the 3rd or 5th; that'll throw everyone off.
