U.S. officials have not offered many details on the nature of the threat, but apparently are taking it seriously. A White House official said Friday night President Obama was being updated on ‘a potential threat occurring in or emanating from the Arabian Peninsula.’ ‘There is a significant threat stream and we’re reacting to it,’ said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.”
