The U.S. State Department issued a travel alert for Europe on Monday, saying U.S. citizens should be aware of a continued threat of terrorist attacks throughout the continent.

In the alert, the State Department 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."

Malls, government facilities, hotels, clubs, restaurants, places of worship, parks, airports and other locations are all possible targets for attacks, the State Department's alert said.

ISIS has been saying for years that it wants to cause a blood bath in Europe. So what do the Europeans do? Import millions of Muslims from terror sponsoring states. Of course.

It will be interesting to see if the Euros do the same for us.

I’ve been warning my family members for years now. Let’s see how euros and British/Europeans respond. Airfares will plummet for Americans.

Europe let in all those terrorists posing as “refugees”

The only smart country was Hungary, which refused to let them in, since they could not be evaluated.

And Budapest is a beautiful city. Was just there in March. Worth considering.

Yep, one of our guys is showing one of their guys something.

Smacks of the old days when back in '89, some crack American inspector found two grapes with trace amounts of cyanide amongst a whole ship full of Chilean fruit.

But that was just ABOUT FRUIT!

Nothing to do with U.S/Chile relations at the time

Nope. Just fruit.

Might have more to do with this being the centennial anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution.

Yep...and in light of N.Korea now pending might be good idea to send out this warning to stay home until the climate has settled down in general. Protests have heated up everywhere and all the animals are going out into the streets....so ISIS and others like to work among these groups to do their deeds.
