State Dept. Warns of Terrorist Attacks Against U.S. Targets
The State Department expressed concern Friday about the possibility that Middle Eastern terrorists may be planning a variety of attacks, perhaps against U.S. targets in Western Europe or West Africa.
A brief statement said the concern was based partly on recent reports of movement of terrorists from the Middle East and the discovery of weapons shipments destined for pro-Iranian groups in Spain and Africa.
“If credible, specific information or a threat to the public is received, the Department of State will provide additional information for travelers and other concerned parties,” the statement said.
