FBI warns Texas oil refineries of possible attack

WASHINGTON: The FBI warned Texas oil refineries that they may be targets of possible terror attacks, but it has no specific or corroborated details concerning any potential threats, FBI officials said on Thursday.

One official said the advisory, based on intelligence the FBI has received, went to the industry and law enforcement officials in Texas “out of an abundance of caution.” The official said the FBI in the past year processed 7,000 threats, and added, “These communications go out on a daily basis.” —AFP
