Terror Threat On U.S. Malls [VIDEO]

A terrorist video, urging Muslims to attack malls isn’t scaring shopping away from the Mall of America.

FOX News Radio’s Gurnal Scott with more:

It looks like shoppers are heeding the words of Homeland Security Secretary Jay Johnson, saying he didn’t want people to not go to the Mall of America.

These shoppers are paying the threat no mind.

(Shoppers) “Them mentioning Minnesota means nothing to me.” /
“I have not heard anything about it.” 

Locally, security at the mall has been stepped up, but a federal response is not being deployed, just yet.

DHS and the FBI are continuing to assess the validity of the Al Shabaab threat.

(Shoppers) “I am scared ’cause I have kids.” / “I’m just like, if it happens, it happens.” 

While U.S. officials have no credible evidence of an attack in the works…
