Intelligence officials have intercepted a credible terror plot against Britain and France, raising security fears at the Eiffel Tower on Tuesday, but failing to raise the overall threat level in either country.
The Eiffel Tower was briefly evacuated Tuesday evening after officials received a bomb threat called in from a telephone booth. It was the second such alert at the monument in two weeks.
The warning came as French officials were put on alert for possible terror attacks. British officials, too, have been aware of a possible attack but the terror threat warning has not changed from "severe."
"There have been a succession of terror operations we've been dealing with over recent weeks but one to two that have preoccupied us," said one British government official who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of his work.

It could have been that McDonald’s was planning to open a branch with a drive through underneath the E.T.
“Terrorist plot uncovered in Europe”
The Amish again?!!
First thought that popped into my head when I read the headline.
nobama said we could “absorb” another terrorist attack like 9-11. other administration officials make vague loser-comments about terrorists. I guess the nobamites feel the US citizens are too stupid to be made aware of threats. Then we hear from the European media that there is a high threat of Mumbai-type terrorist attacks in Europe and in the USA by German-living, Pakistani-trained terrorists who have the approval of osama bin laden. Further...some of them are from the same German mosque that some of the 9-11 idiots attended. The Feds are doing searches of trucks with xrays on interstate outside Atlanta. The nobamites are bombing heavily in Pakistan in the past couple weeks. Is nobama afraid of so-called islamophobias rising or something? Doesn’t the fool owe it to the US citizens to inform them of such things? What a bunch of bumbling, feckless incompetents.
