One day after the FBI warned there was a "broad threat" to synagogues in New Jersey, the agency said the threat "no longer poses a danger to the community."
"Upon receipt of threat information against an unspecified New Jersey area synagogue, the FBI notified community leaders and our law enforcement partners," a spokesperson for the FBI said in a statement to CBS News. "We identified the source of the threat who no longer poses a danger to the community. As always, we would like to remind the public, to remain vigilant and if they observe suspicious activity to report it to law enforcement immediately."
In a statement Friday, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy thanked local and federal law enforcement agencies for their work, but said "this remains a tense time for our Jewish communities who are facing a wave of anti-Semitic activity."
