WASHINGTON—FBI Director Robert Mueller says there’s no imminent danger stemming from the case that led authorities to search New York City apartments for explosives and possible links to al-Qaida.
Mueller made the statement during testimony Wednesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Democratic Sen. Charles Schumer of New York had asked the FBI chief to reassure New Yorkers and Americans that the case did not pose a ready danger.
The investigation centers on a Denver man who traveled to New York last week. No explosives were found in the New York searches.
Counterterrorism officials have warn police departments around the country to be on the lookout for evidence of homemade bombs following Monday’s raids on the apartments.
