The US State Department issued a travel alert for Europe on Monday, saying US citizens should be aware of a continued threat of terrorist attacks throughout the continent.<\/p>\n

In the alert, the State Department cited recent incidents in France, Russia, Sweden and the United Kingdom and said Islamic State and al-Qaeda \u201chave the ability to plan and execute terrorist attacks in Europe\u201d.<\/p>\n

The State Department\u2019s previous travel alert for Europe, issued ahead of the winter holiday season, expired in February. A State Department official said Monday\u2019s alert was not prompted by a specific threat, but rather recognition of the continuing risk of attacks especially ahead of the summer holidays. The alert expires on September 1.<\/p>\n

Malls, government facilities, hotels, clubs, restaurants, places of worship, parks, airports and other locations are all possible targets for attacks, the State Department\u2019s alert said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
