(NewsCore) - A U.S. intelligence official said Thursday new information gathered this week indicates the Pakistani Taliban is actively planning to strike the United States, CNN reported.
American targets overseas are also on the terrorists' radar.
Central Intelligence Agency director Leon Panetta and Obama's national security advisor James Jones reportedly knew of the threat before they visited Pakistan this week.
The pair told the Pakistan government of the new threat, which did not specify cities which may be targeted.
The man accused of attempting to bomb New York's Times Square earlier month, Faisal Shahzad, is believed to have been working with the Pakistani Taliban.
The Pakistani-born naturalized U.S. citizen abandoned an SUV containing explosives in the tourist hotspot on May 1.
The married father-of-two, who told investigators he received explosives training from terrorists in Pakistan during an extended trip there last year, has been charged with attempted use of weapons of mass destruction and other terror-related crimes that could see him jailed for life.
