FILE - In this Oct. 29, 2010 file photo, President Barack Obama makes a statement to reporters about the suspicious packages found on U.S. bound planes in the James Brady Press Briefing Room of the White House in Washington. While the Islamic State group is getting the most attention these days, another band of extremists in Syria, a mix of hardened Jihadists from Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria and Europe, poses a more direct and imminent threat to the U.S. homeland, working with Yemeni bomb-makers to target U.S. aviation, American officials say.

FILE - In this June 24, 2014, file photo, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson testifies on Capitol Hill in Washington. Johnson is ordering increased security measures at some overseas airports offering direct flights to the United States. The Homeland Security Department would not immediately say July 2 whether the increased measures were in response to intelligence about a specific threat. But a U.S. counterterrorism official says American intelligence has seen indications that certain terrorist groups in Yemen and Syria are working on a bomb that could make it through airport security undetected.
