Don't know if it is fear mongering or true but one can't be too vigilant these days. Keep your eyes and ears open Memphis.
A warning has been issued by the FBI’s Memphis Division warning police officers to be on the look out for suspicious activity. The warning came from an anonymous complaint and stated that ISIS instructed an ISIS member, a presumed USPER (law enforcement acronym for U.S. person) in Memphis, with a direct order to blow up the Memphis-Arkansas bridge on an unknown date, activating ISIS terror cells in the United States.
The Memphis Division’s FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force is investigating the threat.
“Although we received an anonymous threat, there is no actionable intelligence regarding an attack on the bridge. We take every threat seriously and whenever we receive a threat like this we take steps to inform all of our law enforcement partners,” Supervisory Special Agent Joel Siskovic, spokesman for the FBI Memphis Division, told FOX13 News.
Homeland Security Officials have been warning about ISIS inspired attacks in the U.S. since this fall.
A Memphis Police spokesperson told FOX13 the department is aware of the threat and officers are patrolling the area around the bridge looking for suspicious activity. Surveillance cameras linked the MPD’s Real Time Crime Center are focused on the bridge 24 hours a day.
The Memphis-Arkansas Bridge is a major interstate thoroughfare connecting Tennessee and Arkansas. Nearly 56,000 cars and trucks cross the bridge daily according to Tennessee Department of Transportation statistics. And it’s not just road traffic. In addition, barge traffic traveling under the bridge on the Mississippi River pumps billions of dollars into the U.S. economy according to trade groups.
It is becoming increasingly clear that the current White House Administration has absolutely no control! Stay on the lookout Memphis and report any suspicious activity to your local police precinct. Are you shocked at the recent events in our country?
