US warns Americans to be vigilant when in Europe
The Obama administration is warning Americans about potential terrorist threats in Europe and urging US citizens to be extra vigilant when they're in public places such as tourist spots and transportation hubs.
The State Department on Sunday came out with a travel alert for Europe that advises US citizens living or traveling there to take more precautions about their personal security. The alert is one step below a formal travel warning advising Americans not to visit Europe. US and European security experts have been concerned for days that terrorists may be plotting attacks in Europe with assault weapons on public places, similar to the deadly 2008 shooting spree in Mumbai, India.
