Terror threat

Visitors to the Mall of America must be “particularly careful” after a terror group threatened the Minneapolis-area tourist attraction, the U.S. Homeland Security secretary said.

Jeh Johnson’s comments during an interview Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” program followed the release of a video Saturday by the terror group al-Shabaab that called for attacks in Canada, the U.S. and the U.K., according to the news network.

“If anyone is planning to go to the Mall of America today, they’ve got to be particularly careful,” Johnson said. He said later on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he wasn’t telling people to steer clear of the mall.
