U.S. Issues Travel Alert for Americans in Europe as Al-Qaeda Terrorism Threat Grows
(Washington Post) Glenn Kessler and Edward Cody - The State Department issued a "travel alert" Sunday, cautioning American travelers of potential dangers in Europe after what U.S. officials said was an assessment of information that al-Qaeda appeared to be plotting attacks on cities there. Britain raised its threat level for Germany and France to "high." The threat level for England had been raised earlier to "severe." In addition, thousands of U.S. troops based in Germany were placed under a curfew Friday night and were told not to wear their uniforms off base.
