James Comey Says FBI Disrupted Plans To Kill Americans Likely Over July 4th Holiday

WASHINGTON -- The FBI arrested more than 10 people over the past four to six weeks in an effort that Director James Comey said disrupted plans to kill people on American soil, likely in connection with the July 4th holiday.

Comey told reporters at FBI headquarters on Thursday that all of the people arrested were connected in some way to the Islamic State. But not all of them were necessarily charged with terrorism-related offenses, he said. Comey declined to provide further details or give out specific names or locations of potential attacks.
