"What we need right now is a clear message to the people of this country. This message must be read in every newspaper, heard on every radio, seen on every television... I want everyone to remember, why they need us!"
Americans need to remain vigilant to the threat of a terrorist attack heading into the Independence Day weekend, the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee warned Sunday.

Chairman Michael McCaul, R-Texas, said there has been increased chatter on social media that indicates terrorists may be planning to strike during the celebrations.


Comment: Got a source for that claim, Mr. McCaul? Or should we just take your word for it?

Furthermore, if they're communicating via social media, as you claim, why hasn't the NSA already found them?

"I am extremely concerned that Syrian and ISIS recruiters can use the Internet at lightning speeds to recruit followers in the United States...and then activate them to do whatever they want to do," McCaul said on Fox News Sunday. "Whether it's military installations, law enforcement or possibly a Fourth of July event parade."


He noted that a spokesman for the Islamic State has called for terrorist acts during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, the one-year anniversary of the creation of the Islamic State, and America's Fourth of July holiday.


Comment: What "spokesman"? What's the source for this claim?


"I think given these confluence of events we're being on the cautious side here to warn the public to remain vigilant - to enjoy the Fourth of July parades, but remain vigilant during these celebrations," McCaul said.

Federal authorities have warned local law enforcement officials across the country about a heightened concern involving possible terror attacks targeting the July 4 holiday. While there was no specific or credible threat of attack, the intelligence bulletin prepared by the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI alerted local authorities to the ongoing threats posed by the Islamic State and other homegrown extremists.
