I do not wish to worry anyone by posting alerts like this. I want all of you to have a happy, fun and safe holiday season. Please if you are attending events like this one please have fun but remain alert for anything suspicious and report it immediately to law enforcement. The risk of an attack is higher this year in the U.S.A because of the transition to the new President and changes in government.

I hope and pray we all have a happy and safe holiday season across the globe.

A number of news outlets are now discussing/ reporting the threat of an islamic terrorist attack by ISIS/ ISIL to the Macy's parade.
