Evidence past and present continues to prove that Terrorism thrives in spite of Obama's previous declarations to the contrary. I do believe that Citizens of the USA, our friends and allies, as well as US properties around the world and here at home are targets. I am however not convinced that the new information is anymore concerning that it has been in the past.  It may be that our leaders are just now paying serious attention to such rumors of attacks and threatening chatter that is being picked up. I do not feel the closings are justified.  This appears to me to be a President who now wants to distract from problems at home by "changing the subject" to sudden new threats and to use such a topic change, to show a sudden burst of leadership. Of course this leadership thrust is not impressing many that I know about.  I do hope I am correct and that indeed there is not an eminent threat of any kind.
