The Obama administration will issue a warning Saturday to U.S. travelers in Europe to avoid places frequented by Westerners after new intelligence suggested an attack by Al Qaeda could be imminent, a senior U.S. intelligence official told Fox News.
The travel warning is expected to be announced at 4 p.m., pending Secretary Hillary Clinton's approval, the official said.
The move is expected to have significant implications for European tourism.
The travel warning will advise Americans to stay away from European tourist sites, transportation hubs and other facilities because of fresh threat information, U.S. officials said.
A European official briefed on the talks said the language in the U.S. alert is expected to be vague. It won't address a specific country or specific landmarks, the official said.

It’s time to zot these hoodlums from the face of the earth forever.
Well, be vigilant and be safe. I’d say avoid all the touristy places but the ragheads are targeting “the west” which means even the Germans aren’t safe
Enjoy the smaller towns and sites outside the city center would be my motto. You’ll love Hamburg. I was there a couple of times when I was stationed in Germany in the 90s (Heidelberg)
Maybe Daisy Cutter and her friend Mo Ab should be ready to visit some “places frequented by” terrorists.
I’d prefer they sent their older cousings Fat Man and Little Boy.
“Good thing terrorism is now just a nuisance, unlike when cowboy Bush was in charge.”
Damn straight, now that we’re respected around the world and all.
But can Europe?
Good move.
Stateside we can absorb it without concern.
After all we have Obama as POTUS!
The good ol' days.
Some realize it now, some don't.
This is odd. The high tourism season in Europe is over. There’s not much going on there until the spring.
This is all on Obama’s shoulders. He keeps bowing to the Muslim world and they look at us as weak.
With Obama we have become a weak country in the eyes of the world.
Safe travels. I was planning on speaking at a conference n Frankfurt next month but the employer wants me speaking at our sales meeting the next day. Might be going to Cologne in December.
Funny how I never seem to be there. Then again, I'm the only American on a European committee.
Although Lucerne really surprised me last week with SO MANY American voices everywhere. It felt really strange.
Remember the Berlin disco bombing?
I was in Europe at the time. People living overseas often have favorite places to gather.
I would guess that this is an admonition to not go to the same place every time.
Unless AQ uses nukes he is as safe as sleeping in your house. “Europe” is huge
But then it wouldn’t make much of an October surprise. :(
Nephew in Germany too...possibly related to this.
All Bush’s fault don’t ya know!!! Little barry ain’t taking responsibility for anything.
Question: Is there an Islamic holiday or anniversary in the next month, some day that is special to them? They tend to “commemorate” certain days with memorable events.
If I remember right, 9-11 was the same date on the Muslim calendar as some battle that was fought centuries ago. Can’t remember the details.
NAh, I always figured they commemorate if they can, don’t if they don’t, the main thing is to kill whitey.
How can this be? After the Chosen One ascended to his divine throne, the sea were supposed to recede, the planet was supposed to begin healing, and all mankind was supposed to love Americans again after the curse of the Cowboy Bush was ended.
