US Intel: No Threat Tied To bin Laden Anniversary

Counterterrorism officials say there is no credible or specific threat to the U.S. related to the upcoming
anniversary of the death of terror leader Osama bin Laden.

A joint intelligence bulletin from U.S. Northern Command, the FBI and Homeland Security Department urges Americans to be vigilant because al-Qaida and like-minded groups continue to want to attack the U.S., and some have pledged to avenge bin Laden's death.

But officials say there is currently no intelligence pointing to a specific threat.

Bin Laden was killed last year in a May 2 raid by the U.S. military. He was living in a compound in one of Pakistan's suburbs.
