ISIS Attack Planned For Fourth Of July Weekend?

by Robert G. Yetman, Jr., Managing Editor,  The James L. Paris Report

The alarm has been sounded, informing us all that extra awareness is in order this weekend as we go about our business in celebrating the Independence Day holiday - U.S. intelligence agencies sent out bulletins to local law enforcement agencies in May to remind them of the importance of remaining extra-vigilant around the various holiday seasons in these United States, given the rise in ISIS and ISIS-related terror activities over the last year or so���and the May alerts are receiving renewed attention in the days leading up to the July fourth celebrations due to take place in communities large and small around the country this weekend.

Part of the reason for the encouragement of heightened awareness right now is the recent statement, issued by an ISIS spokesman, imploring supporters to attack during the holy month of Ramadan, which ends on July 17. More broadly, U.S. officials have long been concerned about large gatherings in major cities across the country on behalf of America���s most celebrated holidays, and so the timing of the proclaimed greater threat from ISIS in recent months���with this weekend���s celebrations���is something to be noted.

According to government officials, there is no credible threat at this time about which any agency is particularly concerned, presently. However, there is no denying the increased terror activities committed by members, and/or supporters, of ISIS over the past many months, and it is, in the minds of many, simply a matter of time before ISIS itself (or members sympathetic to ISIS) makes a large-scale effort against citizens of the United States. More and more recognizable names, like U.S. Congressman Peter King of New York, are themselves publicly voicing great concern over what they see as a vulnerable holiday weekend coming up for Americans. How great is this concern, even without (supposedly) a specific threat? Supposedly, all who work for the FBI have had their vacations canceled on behalf of this weekend. Something���or nothing? We���ll see���but you are encouraged to remain on high alert, personally, as you go about your business over the next few days.
