The U.S. State Department has issued a travel alert to Americans going to Europe this summer due to the risk of potential terrorist attacks in the continent, the agency announced on May 31.
The State Department warns travelers of possible attacks that may target major events, tourist sites, restaurants, commercial centers, and transportation.
“The large number of tourists visiting Europe in the summer months will present greater targets for terrorists planning attacks in public locations, especially at large events,” said the agency.
There are various major events taking place this summer in Europe.
