President Barack Obama said Thursday that there was no "specific" terror threat to the United States but urged Americans to remain alert over the holiday period.
"At this moment our intelligence and counterterrorism professionals do not have any specific and credible information about an attack on the homeland," Obama told reporters after a terrorism briefing at the Pentagon.
"That said, we have to be vigilant. As I indicated in my address to the nation last week, we are in a new phase of terrorism."
