US issues travel alert! Warns its citizens to be wary of terrorist attacks in Europe

A travel alert has been issued by the United States of America warning its citizens to be wary of potential terrorist attacks across the continent of Europe.

The U.S. State Department warns its citizens to be aware of a continued threat of terrorist attacks throughout the continent.

It cited recent incidents in France, Russia, Sweden and the United Kingdom and said Islamic State and al Qaeda “have the ability to plan and execute terrorist attacks in Europe.”

The State Department’s alert also said malls, government facilities, hotels, clubs, restaurants, places of worship, parks, airports and other locations are all possible targets for attacks.

An official of the US State Department said the alert was not prompted by a specific threat, but rather recognition of the continuing risk of attacks especially ahead of the summer holidays. The alert expires on September 1.
