The White House refuted on Tuesday the information suggesting a possible terrorist attack against the United States this summer.

Responding to remarks made Tuesday by U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, White House spokesman Tony Fratto said there is "no credible intelligence" the U.S. is at greater risk for attacks over the next months of summer.

Chertoff  had told the Chicago Tribune's editorial board he had a "gut feeling" al-Qaeda was poised to carry out an attack on US soil this summer given the foiled plot in London and Glasgow last month.

It's a "gut feeling," Chertoff was quoted as saying, not based upon specific intelligence, and not serious enough to raise the alert level or take action.

"If you look at that picture you see an enemy that is improving itself just as we're improving ourselves," he said.

"They can't afford to remain static just as we can't afford to remain static", Chertoff added.

Chertoff comments were made after ABC News reported that the White House had called a session for Thursday to discuss a potential new al Qaeda threat on U.S. soil.

Today Tony Fratto said that administration officials will hold a routine session on Thursday. "There continues to be no credible intelligence to suggest that there is an imminent threat to the homeland," Tony Fratto said.
