Authorities have "no indication of any specific, credible threats or plots" against the United States as a result of the one-year anniversary of the death of Osama bin Laden, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
The spokesman was responding to an ABC report that said officials fear al Qaeda may soon try to explode aircraft bound for the United States with so-called body bombs.
Security at various airports overseas has been stepped up ahead of the anniversary, ABC reported.
Today marks the one year anniversary that President Barack Obama green-lighted Navy Seals to raid bin Laden's compound.
