WASHINGTON (AP) – FBI Director James Comey says there’s no credible threat to the United States following the Paris terror attack.

He also says investigators have found no connections between the Paris attackers and the U.S.

Appearing before reporters Thursday alongside Attorney General Loretta Lynch, Comey said he was aware that the Islamic State and its supporters regularly issue propaganda in videos and magazines boasting about their plans and capabilities. But he says “that is not credible intelligence.”

He says the FBI is closely watching dozens of Islamic State supporters in the U.S. whom agents are concerned about.
