FBI director Christopher Wray
FBI director Christopher Wray told the US Congress on Wednesday that the agency has thwarted a series of planned attacks on Americans over the last several weeks.
Speaking at a hearing, Mr. Wray said they included a planned attack against a July 4 parade in Ohio, as well as against churches and other houses of worship and a plot against a hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic.
He added that there were also plots against a pier in San Francisco and a crowded beach during the Memorial holiday weekend - all of which were stopped by the FBI.
Mr. Wray said the threats were not only domestic, but also from "jihadist terrorism".
