 Worldwide Travel Alert Last Updated: November 23, 2015

The State Department alerts U.S. citizens to possible risks of travel due to increased terrorist threats. Current information suggests that ISIL (aka Da’esh), al-Qa’ida, Boko Haram, and other terrorist groups continue to plan terrorist attacks in multiple regions.  These attacks may employ a wide variety of tactics, using conventional and non-conventional weapons and targeting both official and private interests.  This Travel Alert expires on February 24, 2016.

Authorities believe the likelihood of terror attacks will continue as members of ISIL/Da’esh return from Syria and Iraq.  Additionally, there is a continuing threat from unaffiliated persons planning attacks inspired by major terrorist organizations but conducted on an individual basis.  Extremists have targeted large sporting events, theatres, open markets, and aviation services.  In the past year, there have been multiple attacks in France, Nigeria, Denmark, Turkey, and Mali.  ISIL/Da’esh has claimed responsibility for the bombing of a Russian airliner in Egypt.

U.S. citizens should exercise vigilance when in public places or using transportation.  Be aware of immediate surroundings and avoid large crowds or crowed places.  Exercise particular caution during the holiday season and at holiday festivals or events.  U.S. citizens should monitor media and local information sources and factor updated information into personal travel plans and activities.  Persons with specific safety concerns should contact local law enforcement authorities who are responsible for the safety and security of all visitors to their host country.  U.S. citizens should:

    Follow the instructions of local authorities.  Monitor media and local information sources and factor updated information into personal travel plans and activities.      Be prepared for additional security screening and unexpected disruptions.     Stay in touch with your family members and ensure they know how to reach you in the event of an emergency.     Register in our Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP).

Foreign governments have taken action to guard against terrorist attacks, and some have made official declarations regarding heightened threat conditions.  Authorities continue to conduct raids and disrupt terror plots.  We continue to work closely with our allies on the threat from international terrorism.  Information is routinely shared between the United States and our key partners in order to disrupt terrorist plotting, identify and take action against potential operatives, and strengthen our defenses against potential threats.

For further information:

    See the State Department's travel website for the Worldwide Caution, Travel Warnings, Travel Alerts, and Country Specific Information.     Enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to receive security messages and make it easier to locate you in an emergency.     Call 1-888-407-4747 toll-free in the United States and Canada or 1-202-501-4444 from other countries from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, Monday through Friday (except U.S. federal holidays).     Follow us on Twitter and Facebook.

Actually we should get travel advisories where Black Crime is running rampant.

Anybody hear of travel advisories for Baltimore, Philadelphia, or St. Louis?

Good point. If I go to the neighborhood I grew up in, I’d be at high risk.

The department says all U.S. citizens should remain vigilant[.]

Well, naturally that would exclude the Kenyan.

Could’ve changed by now, I guess.

Bleeding hearts started letting prisoners and the insane out in the 50’s and 60’s. Forcing the law abiding to abandon the streets.

This is just them doubling down.

>terror attacks will continue as members of ISIL/Daesh return from Syria and Iraq.

Only a moron or suicidal government would allow such islamo scum to return. Kill them on return or lock them away for life. These islamists are not fit for human kind.

I read today that the Mafia has told muslims not to bother New York. Mafia says they will be defending NY. Mafia says they will not allow their women and children to be killed by muslims.

Do we have anymore American groups who pledge to do the same thing?

I have concerns for a twister setting down on the Thanksgiving Day parade in Manhattan.

Let’s hope the NYPD is at its best.

Most Southerners are armed and won’t put up with much.
