Washington - American authorities see no imminent threat in the United States following the arrest in Germany of three men in a foiled plan by Islamist militants to carry out bomb attacks, an FBI spokesperson said on Wednesday.
FBI spokesperson Richard Kolko said his agency and the US Department of Homeland Security were monitoring the situation in Germany.
"We see no imminent threat to the US domestically following these arrests. We have been closely co-ordinating with the Germans on this case," Kolko said.
German federal prosecutor Monika Harms said the men, two German nationals and one Turk, had been seen scouting US installations such as discos, pubs and airports.
