FLASH: State Department Issues Travel Warning to Europe; Cites ‘Near Term’ Attacks Being Planned

Just out now.

This isn’t your typical warning. Knowing that a warning of this magnitude will have a deleterious effect upon tourism in Europe, there must be a credible threat in Europe that is causing the State Dept to issue such a warning.

The State Department alerts U.S. citizens to potential risks of travel to and throughout Europe following several terrorist attacks, including the March 22 attacks in Brussels claimed by ISIL. Terrorist groups continue to plan near-term attacks throughout Europe, targeting sporting events, tourist sites, restaurants, and transportation. This Travel Alert expires on June 20, 2016.

U.S. citizens should exercise vigilance when in public places or using mass transportation. Be aware of immediate surroundings and avoid crowded places. Exercise particular caution during religious holidays and at large festivals or events.

Here is the full document.

    Screw the G0P, Trump’s already won. A domestic terrorist attack is all he needs now to win the whole election.

    I’m all for helping migrants in wartime situations but there should be some type of Allah-denouncing process involved before being allowed into a Western State.

    Shutting down immigration won’t solve Europe’s terrorism problem

    http://www.vox.com/2016/3/22/11285962/brussels-attack-refugees-immigration

    “Europe’s terrorist threat, while rising, has come overwhelmingly not from foreigners but from fellow Europeans.”

    I like Vox a lot for their attempts to be objective and data oriented. That being said, they are sometimes excruciatingly politically correct. Although Vox is too politically correct to emphasize this, it’s clear in their article that although Europe’s terrorism may has not been coming mostly from immigrants, it has been coming mostly from Muslims.

    I have nothing against Muslims as a whole, and I realize that only a tiny percentage of them are terrorists. I feel sympathy for people fleeing violence in Syria, and I don’t want people to be treated unfairly because of their religion.

    I hope that people can discuss how best to deal with this problem, without insulting each other, or labeling each other as stupid, or evil, or destroyers of our country. The issue deserves serious consideration.

    Totally fictitious. Just because the parents of the terrorists moved to France 15 years ago, that doesn’t make them nationals. Understand?

    Diabolical differences in culture. They hate you and want to put you in a burka, literally.

    You’re so naive.
