Three individuals have entered the United State with intent to launch a terrorist attack against Washington, D.C., or New York City, U.S intelligence officials announced Thursday. Officials say at least three individuals are being sought. One of the suspects is believed to be an American citizen. They are suspected of entering the country in August. Intelligence officials believe the suspects entered the country with the intent to launch a vehicle-borne attack around the 10-year anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001. The information on the plot was "very specific," said one official. Authorities are searching for at least two rental trucks, a Penske and a Budget, in the country, but did not specify where or if that search was connected to the plot. According to a White House official: "The President was briefed on this specific threat information this morning and has been updated on it throughout the day. The United States government has already significantly enhanced its security posture in advance of the 9/11 anniversary to protect the country against possible terrorist threats. Nevertheless, the President directed the counterterrorism community to redouble its efforts in response to this credible but unconfirmed information." Get more details
