Travel Alert U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE Bureau of Consular Affairs
Europe
October 3, 2010
The State Department alerts U.S. citizens to the potential for terrorist attacks in Europe. Current information suggests that al-Qaida and affiliated organizations continue to plan terrorist attacks. European governments have taken action to guard against a terrorist attack and some have spoken publicly about the heightened threat conditions.
Terrorists may elect to use a variety of means and weapons and target both official and private interests. U.S. citizens are reminded of the potential for terrorists to attack public transportation systems and other tourist infrastructure. Terrorists have targeted and attacked subway and rail systems, as well as aviation and maritime services. U.S. citizens should take every precaution to be aware of their surroundings and to adopt appropriate safety measures to protect themselves when traveling.
We continue to work closely with our European allies on the threat from international terrorism, including al-Qaida. Information is routinely shared between the U.S. and our key partners in order to disrupt terrorist plotting, identify and take action against potential operatives, and strengthen our defenses against potential threats.
We recommend U.S. citizens register their travel plans with the Consular Section of the U.S. Embassy through the State Department's travel registration website. Travelers may obtain up-to-date information on security conditions by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll-free in the U.S. and Canada, or on a regular toll line at 1-202-501-4444 from elsewhere in the world.
For information on general crime and security issues, U.S. citizens should also consult the Department of State's Country-Specific Information as well as the Worldwide Caution, which can be found on the Bureau of Consular Affairs website. For further information on safety tips while traveling abroad, U.S. citizens should also consult the following website: http://travel.state.gov/travel/tips/tips_1232.html
This Travel Alert expires on January 31, 2011.
PIIGS get slaughtered as income from tourism dries up overnight. Any bets on the first to default?

I wonder if there are any big short positions showing up on European markets.
LONG WAR JOURNAL.org: "EUROPEAN TERROR PLOT BEGINS TO UNRAVEL" by Bill Roggio and Lisa Lundquist (SNIPPET: "The plan is said to involve simultaneous attacks, consisting of commando-style raids and hostage-taking, on major targets in England, France, and Germany." SNIPPET: "As the investigation in this unraveling terror plot continues, it has become apparent that much of the planning seems to have been on the radar of the various Western intelligence agencies for weeks and even months. The recent leaks may have forced Western intelligence services and law enforcement agencies to act more quickly than they might have otherwise done to arrest planners and operatives, thus potentially leaving other suspects at large, and other terror plans potentially intact.") (September 29, 2010)
Why doesn’t the USDS not issue a travel warning to citizens in America considering the large number of AQ members already in this country and coming in daily across the wide open borders?
I don’t know.
I’m not with the government.

Homeland Security Advisory System
Current Threat Level
October 1, 2010
The United States government’s national threat level is Elevated, or Yellow.
For all domestic and international flights, the U.S. threat level is High, or Orange. See the Transportation Security Administration for up-to-date information on items permitted and prohibited on airlines.
Recommended Activities
Everyone should establish an emergency preparedness kit and emergency plan for themselves and their family, and stay informed about what to do during an emergency.
All Americans should continue to be vigilant, take notice of their surroundings, and report suspicious items or activities to local authorities immediately.
About the Homeland Security Advisory System
The Homeland Security Advisory System is designed to guide our protective measures when specific information to a particular sector or geographic region is received. It combines threat information with vulnerability assessments and provides communications to public safety officials and the public.
Homeland Security Threat Advisories contain actionable information about an incident involving, or a threat targeting, critical national networks or infrastructures or key assets.
Homeland Security Information Bulletins communicate information of interest to the nations critical infrastructures that do not meet the timeliness, specificity, or significance thresholds of warning messages.
Color-coded Threat Level System is used to communicate with public safety officials and the public at-large through a threat-based, color-coded system so that protective measures can be implemented to reduce the likelihood or impact of an attack.
This system was established in Homeland Security Presidential Directive 3.

CHOUDARY: we do believe, as Muslims, the East and the West will one day be governed by the Sharia. Indeed, we believe that one day, the flag of Islam will fly over the White House. Indeed, there’s even an oration of the Prophet where he said, The day of judgment will not come until a group of my oma...

Interview: UK Islamist says like-minded U.S. groups expanding
By William Maclean, Security Correspondent
LONDON | Thu Sep 2, 2010 3:06am EDT
SNIPPET: (Reuters) - Radical U.S. Muslim discussion groups are growing in influence much as similar forums did in 1990s Britain, a hardline British preacher said on Wednesday, referring to a period when London was Europes Islamist hub.
Anjem Choudary, accused by his critics of poisoning young Muslim minds with virulent anti-Western propaganda, added that a ban on a group he had led had backfired on UK authorities by boosting his standing among European and U.S. Muslims who shared his aim of establishing sharia (Islamic law) in the West.
Choudary told Reuters global publicity about Britains January 2010 prohibition of Islam4UK had provoked the creation or expansion of similar groups in Belgium, France, Switzerland, Sweden and Denmark and even in Australia and Indonesia.

Imam Anjem Choudary Warns of Terror Attacks Worse than July 7, 2005
SNIPPET: July 6, 2010 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNew.org - On the eve of the 5th anniversary of the UKs worst case of domestic terrorism - the Muslim bombings which took place on the morning of July 7, 2005, claiming 52 lives - Anjem Choudary, the hate preacher who formerly ran the terror linked Al-Muhajiroun, has warned that if Britain doesnt withdraw its troops from Muslim countries, and stop supporting the pirate state of Israel that even worse attacks will ensue. [source, www.anjemchoudary.com]
The four responsible for the 7/7 attack were Hasib Hussain, Mohammad Sidique Khan, Germaine Lindsay and Shehzad Tanweer.
Choudary pointed to a recent study by the Center for Social Cohesion outlining the increasing radicalization of Muslim youth in the UK as evidence that the means to instigate a campaign of home grown terror is firmly in place. The study also closely linked Choudarys Muhajiroun with terrorism.

Mumbai-style attack cells already in Britain al-Qaeda chief claimed
Terrorist cells have already been sent to Britain and Germany to launch Mumbai style terrorist attacks, an al-Qaeda commander has claimed.
By Duncan Gardham, Security Correspondent
Published: 7:25PM BST 04 Oct 2010
SNIPPET: A Europe-wide terrorism alert has led to warnings from Britain, the US and Japan about travel across the continent amid fears of gun attacks on tourist sites and transport hubs.
It is understood the alert was sparked after an informant, Ahmad Sidiqi told US interrogators of the alleged plot.
SNIPPET: Sidiqi said he had met Ilyas Kashmiri, a one-eyed commander linked with one of the men allegedly behind the attacks on Mumbai, India in 2008 that left 174 people dead.
During the camp fire chat in Pakistan, Kashmiri told Sidiqi that he had already sent teams to Britain and Germany to launch Mumbai-style attacks, the Daily Telegraph has learned.
Osama bin Laden is said to have given a general blessing to such attacks which would involve gunmen killing innocent civilians in crowded areas at random although there is nothing to connect him operationally to the plot. Security sources on both sides of the Atlantic say no targets or timings were discussed.
