US Citizens Alerted to Threat of Terrorist Attacks in European Nations
By Jim Kouri / Conservative Base
On Monday, the U.S. Department of State released a disturbing alert to Americans planning to travel overseas, especially in countries that once appeared safe for tourists and business travelers, according to the National Association of Chiefs of Police.
Along with the alerts promulgated by law enforcement and security organizations such as Interpol (International Police Association), Scotland Yard (London Metropolitan Police) and Europol (European Union Police Association), security officials at the U.S. State Department released there own alert.

Recent, widely-reported incidents in France, Russia, Sweden, and the United Kingdom demonstrate that the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS or Da’esh), al-Qa’ida, and their affiliates have the ability to plan and execute terrorist attacks in Europe. While local governments continue counterterrorism operations, the State Department nevertheless remains concerned about the potential for future terrorist attacks. 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.
Extremists continue to focus on tourist locations, transportation hubs, markets/shopping malls, and local government facilities as viable targets. In addition, hotels, clubs, restaurants, places of worship, parks, high-profile events, educational institutions, airports, and other soft targets remain priority locations for possible attacks. U.S. citizens should exercise additional vigilance in these and similar locations, in particular during the upcoming summer travel season when large crowds may be common.
Terrorists persist in employing a variety of tactics, including firearms, explosives, using vehicles as ramming devices, and sharp-edged weapons that are difficult to detect prior to an attack.
