FBI on high terror alert for July 4 weekend

The FBI and US Department of Homeland Security have asked Americans to remain vigilant to the threat of a terror attack over the Fourth of July weekend. Command centers have been set up at 56 FBI command centers across America. Although officials say there is no credible threat, the FBI is reacting to a call to arms by the Islamic State for mass murder during Ramadan, especially after its simultaneous attacks on three continents last Friday. DEBKAfile’s sources: Extra vigilance for Islamist attacks should also be observed on July 13, the 27th day of Ramadan when Muslims observer the “Night of Al Qadar” in the belief that then the “gates of the firmament”  open wide to Muslim prayers.
