Travel Alert Warns of Possible Terrorist Acts in Europe This Summer

The US State Department issued a travel alert Tuesday for Americans planning to visit Europe this summer. The alert, set to expire on August 31, was issued ahead of several large sporting events and conferences being held throughout Europe over the summer months when many Americans will be visiting the continent.

In the wake of recent terrorist attacks in Paris and Brussels, the US State Department has advised traveling Americans that large-scale sporting events and public gatherings — like the European Soccer Championship, among others — are likely targets for terrorist activity.
