US State Department issues travel alert for Europe
The US State Department has issued a travel alert for its citizens going to Europe, citing the continued threat of terror attacks, CNN reports “While local governments continue counterterrorism operations, the Department nevertheless remains concerned about the potential for future terrorist attacks,” the alert said.
“U.S. citizens should always be alert to the possibility that terrorist sympathizers or self-radicalized extremists may conduct attacks with little or no warning.”
The alert mentioned recent attacks in France — which heads to the polls next week to choose a new president – Russia, Sweden and the UK, noting that extremists tend to focus on tourist hot spots.
