FBI on High Alert Amid Terror Threats

0:00This is Cory, and here's what is making news across Tampa Bay right now. The FBI has put its counterterrorism teams on high alert across the country, including in Tampa, amid rising tensions overseas and a fatal shooting in, Austin. Even before that incident, agency leaders ramped up efforts with joint task forces working non-stop to spot and stop threats. FBI Director Cash Patel announced the move over the weekend, boosting monitoring of suspects and intelligence. Tampa hosts one of these task forces, partnering with local police to check tips on suspicious activities. The Austin shooting raised new worries when the gunman war symbols linked to Iran during the attack in the city's entertainment area. Experts fear this could spark copycats or organize plots by individuals or sleeper cells. Investigators are now digging into whether any potential threats have the resources or training to strike on American soil. They also warn of rising cyber risks, like hacks on banks, government systems, or key infrastructure.
