A federal alert sent to law enforcement said U.S. intelligence intercepted an encrypted transmission believed to be an "operational trigger" to activate sleeper assets operating abroad.

Officials said there is currently no specific, credible threat to the public identified, but the alert urged heightened situational awareness and ongoing investigations into possible retaliatory attacks.
