U.S. issues travel alert for Europe amid fears of terrorist attacks

WASHINGTON, D.C. (BNO NEWS) -- The U.S. State Department on Sunday alerted U.S. citizens to be vigilant travelling in Europe, amid fears of terrorist attacks in several countries.

"Current information suggests that al-Qaeda and affiliated organizations continue to plan terrorist attacks. European governments have taken action to guard against a terrorist attack and some have spoken publicly about the heightened threat conditions," said the U.S. State Department.

Without specifying a country, the State Department said terrorists may elect to use a variety of means and weapons and target both official and private interests, and added that there is potential for terrorists to attack public transportation systems and other tourist infrastructure.

"Terrorists have targeted and attacked subway and rail systems, as well as aviation and maritime services. U.S. citizens should take every precaution to be aware of their surroundings and to adopt appropriate safety measures to protect themselves when traveling."

Intelligence agencies have warned during the last days of a terror plan to send teams of gunmen to crowded places to kill civilians in the UK, France and Germany, similar to 2008 Mumbai attacks.

"We continue to work closely with our European allies on the threat from international terrorism, including al-Qaeda," the State Department added.
