NEW YORK -- CBS News has learned about a potential terror threat for the day before the election.

Sources told CBS News senior investigative producer Pat Milton that U.S. intelligence has alerted joint terrorism task forces that al Qaeda could be planning attacks in three states for Monday.

It is believed New York, Texas and Virginia are all possible targets, though no specific locations are mentioned.

Terrorism in the U.S.

U.S. authorities are taking the threat seriously, though the sources stress the intelligence is still being assessed and its credibility hasn’t been confirmed. Counterterrorism officials were alerted to the threat out of abundance of caution.

A senior FBI official told CBS News, “The counterterrorism and homeland security communities remain vigilant and well-postured to defend against attacks here in the United States. The FBI, working with our federal, state and local counterparts, shares and assesses intelligence on a daily basis and will continue to work closely with law enforcement and intelligence community partners to identify and disrupt any potential threat to public safety.”

Here's the problem. Is this yet another attempt by Trump supporting FBI agents to affect the election? Are they trying to depress voter turnout? The FBI's credibility during this election is completely shot.

What do you think?

1. I think the word Trust is fading away in the USA. Hard to tell WTF is going on anymore. n/t

[PunksMom]

6. So sad, & true.

[dixiegrrrrl]

7. When is the last time we have heard of Al-Quada?

Nothing but ISIS and/or its several name versions, all the time, and now suddenly Al-Quada pops up?
Pull the other one........

[RKP5637]

11. It's like a Coup is going on! n/t

[Ghost Dog]

22. Um, in Aleppo?

[bucolic_frolic]

2. Isn't terrorism prevention the bastion of Homeland Security?

I wouldn't think there would be any conceivable benefit in election results
in NY or TX, they're going one way. Virginia is another matter.

3. i wonder how many of these anticipated al-qaeda attacks. . .

Will have "Vote Trump" spray painted at the scene.

[Qutzupalotl]

4. Sounds like Tom Ridge and the color-coded terror alerts

whenever W was in trouble in the polls.

Non-specific fearmongering, designed to terrorize the public into the arms of the so-called "law and order" party (who lied us into a war, deleted millions of emails, paid for propaganda, etc.). I call bullshit.

12. Next they'll be saying cover your windows with plastic and duct tape. n/t

5. Don't forget the late Osama bin Laden

and his penchant for delivering threats right before elections in this country, in order to manipulate voters into electing candidates he wanted (i.e., feckless).

9. yet Trump's SS troops in FBI are concerned about Hill's emails!!! Much more important

than terrorists!

[AtheistCrusader]

13. It's funny you mention SS.

I was just thinking Trump needs his Reichstag fire right about now...

[wordpix]

20. seriously, so many things remind me of 1930's Germany as

Hitler rose to power.

10. I flew through JFK earlier this week. Armed National Guard in the terminal.

I had flown through JFK last week - didn't see any; Flew through JFK in August - didn't see any. But this week - they were patrolling the terminal (between ticketing desks and the TSA security.

Based on witnessing that, I would guess that there are signals/threats that have been raised.

14. If this is a false flag operation by the FBI, we are well and truly fucked.

If it's a false flag operation by Russia, same thing. OMG, is there any depth to which the groperator won't sink? Most vile unhuman person in existence!!

[ananda]

15. How convenient!

Distraction, diversion ...

[cynzke]

16. Gee...the day before an election?

Who would that help?

[BigDemVoter]

17. I those those assholes at the FBI

are WAY out of line. And I wouldn't be surprised at all to hear they're assisting with the SUPPRESSION of voter turnout.

The FBI has NO credibility.

[mountain grammy]

18. Go away, the FBI is busy fucking with the election.

[judesedit]

19. This is a rumor started by the GOP to scare people into voting for Drumpf because he hates anyone

from that side of the world and says he'll get rid of them and stop terrorism. Who's going to stop him? He is a homegrown terrorist greedy spoiled brat narcissistic pussy boy that must be put in his place. I pray Hillary wins HUUGGGEly....

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

21. If this comes from the FBI who would believe it? They are a joke and can't be trusted

After this they honestly need to close the whole damn agency down and replace it with a new agency with all new people. They pissed in the bathwater...
