travel warning for Americans in France, Germany and Britian


Terrorists plotting to carry out a Mumbai-style massacre in western Europe have a list of high-profile targets in their sights ranging from the Eiffel Tower to a hotel near Berlin's famed Brandenburg Gate, according to intelligence relayed to Fox News.

Information about the threat is seeping out as the United States issues a rare blanket travel alert for Americans in Europe, warning about the possibility of an Al Qaeda strike and advising U.S. citizens to be vigilant. The State Department alert did not offer specifics about the targets and countries that could be most at risk, saying only that Americans should be careful around transportation hubs and other popular tourist locations.

Yep, more of a response to the great foreign policy of our president. One would like to think that this might indeed wake up some of our allies, that had so many problems with the cowboy. When US is seen as weak, it's not just the US that will have problems.

Can you explain the why the wake up call is needed?

As for the targets, not a surprise given the French views on the Muslim dress code, and Germany are forever having trouble with the Muslims.
