Fort Bliss has also begun taking necessary steps in preparation for an attack: “I am aware of the article and we take threats against Fort Bliss seriously,” says Lt. Col. Lee Peters, a Fort Bliss spokesman. “Therefore, we continuously work with local and federal law enforcement agencies to assess threat levels in El Paso and can adjust our security measures based on these assessments. I am not sure of the validity of the article, but vigilance and preparedness are keys to maintaining a safe and secure installation.” However, Obama and the United States Department of Homeland Security deny knowledge of a threat, stating, “The DHS and the FBI are unaware of any specific, credible threat to the U.S. homeland from ISIL.”
