US issues global travel warning after terror attacks
US issues global travel warning after terror attacks:
For those of us who either have adult children or grandchildren who travel internationally, whether for business, pleasure or for educational reasons; or, for those of us planning an upcoming trip.........please read below statement from Washington.
Even domestically, we are not 100% safe from harm while traveling, nor are our brave military personnel, or athletes, whether home or abroad (never forget the Ft. Hood terrorism which was certainly NOT workplace violence nor the Boston Marathon bombing which harmed innocent children as well as adults).
""WASHINGTON — The United States has issued a global travel warning after recent terror attacks in France, Australia and Canada.
The alert comes hours after French police killed three hostage-takers in a pair of incidents. Two of the men are believed responsible for Wednesday's attack on a satirical magazine in Paris. **Twelve people were killed in that assault, France's deadliest terror incident in decades.
The State Department's warning says attacks against Americans are becoming increasingly prevalent.
It also cites an increased risk of reprisals against U.S. and Western targets for the U.S.-led intervention against Islamic State militants in Syria and Iraq.
The warning also cited last month's hostage standoff at a Sydney cafe and the October killing of a soldier near Canada's parliament.""
p.s.
**Actually, 17 people total, killed, (the last I heard) in all incidents involving the terrorists in France.
