WASHINGTON (FOX 13) - Terrorists could be planning attacks in multiple U.S. states before Election Day, CBS News is reporting.
CBS cites "sources" in reporting that intelligence agencies have alerted joint terrorism task forces that Al Qaeda could target three states on Monday. No specific locations were named in the reports, but the network says New York, Virginia, and Texas are "possible targets."
The report says U.S. officials are taking the threat seriously, even though its credibility is still being assessed.
