The head of the FBI in Denver says his office has received no credible terrorist threats against the Democratic National Convention, but he says he is aware of anarchist groups and protesters who intend on disrupting the convention.

“I think there is some possibility of large scale protests, people who may have it in their mind to disrupt this convention,” said FBI Special Agent in Charge Jim Davis.

Davis, who took over the top job at the Denver Field Office in March, is playing one of the lead roles in protecting the DNC from terrorism.

“There is clearly enough activity for us to be very busy in addressing potential threats,” Davis said, noting his agents have been busy preparing for the DNC for months.

Davis also said there is terrorism in Denver, but not in the sense people are used to.

“We don’t have terrorist attacks here, we don’t have suicide bombers and I think that’s what people think of when they think about terrorism,” Davis said.
