U.S. military, intelligence and security officials were briefed last month on the threat posed to Pentagon chiefs on U.S. soil, and not just on their overseas voyages, NBC reported tonight (Thursday) by five U.S. officials directly involved.

The two countries recently signed a standardization agreement mediated by the Trump administration.
The Pentagon did not respond to questions about the report, which was released days before the presidential election, and the CIA and FBI declined to comment, as did the White House.
