U.S. travelers worldwide should be on the lookout for trouble and increase their security awareness, said a travel warning issued by the State Department on July 26.
The department issued the warning because of “the continuing threat of terrorist actions and violence against U.S. citizens and interests throughout the world.” The warning replaced a worldwide caution issued back in January, it said.
Concerns about the continued threat of terrorist attacks, demonstrations, and other violent actions against U.S. citizens and interests overseas in the wake of Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden’s death prompted the warning update. “Current information suggests that Al-Qa’ida and affiliated organizations continue to plan terrorist attacks against U.S. interests in multiple regions, including Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East,” said the warning. “These attacks may employ a wide variety of tactics including suicide operations, assassinations, kidnappings, hijackings, and bombings,” it said.
