    He says ISIS is behind the threat, and when asked if the attacks were imminent, he said “yes.”

    The prime minister also was asked if the attacks had been thwarted, and he said “no,” saying that the U.S. had been alerted.

    Word of the threat comes on the heels of U.S. led airstrikes in Syria.
