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.

European and U.S. officials have not identified any specific targets that terrorists might be considering, the official said. Officials have called the threat credible but not specific.

Prayers up please. My nephew lives in Madrid.

Time is well overdue to send the mid easterners back to their dirthole economies.

Its beginning to become imaginable, IMO.

When I was stationed in Germany in the 70's, the Germans were usually friendly and embracing of soldiers.

But the commies came out every Mayday, like clockwork, now folks have to deal with the peaceful mooselimbs.

Because that's the best the US can do now. Run everyone, run...

You’ve lurked her awhile and NO about page?

35 years ago we had thousands of Iranians living here going to college, learning about us. And they’ve continued being here.
Also going to our military colleges and schools.
They already are in place and know everything they need know about us.

Good thing terrorism is now just a nuisance, unlike when cowboy Bush was in charge. God speed to all Americans in Europe.

The Obama administration will issue a warning Saturday to U.S. travelers in Europe to avoid places frequented by Westerners ...

Um, okay - Europe IS the West, so I guess it will be kind of difficult to be IN Europe but, at the same time, AVOID places frequented by Westerners ...

Maybe I'll just visit a Mosque!

I hope they are vigilant at the Ryder cup. I was at the us open at pebble beach and I was not impressed with the security. I noticed the big stars like Tiger had their own.

Wow some very close friends of ours just returned from one of those cruises that also involves overland tours across Italy. The ship sailed down the coast and the passengers boarded a bus for the tour at each port of call. Perfect target for a terror attack. Pre-planned routes of travel, predictable time windows, it's perfect. I'm glad they're back.

I'll pray for your nephew. Make sure to tell him to avoid touristy type of areas. He himself should vary any routine he might have. Don't take the same route twice. Leave and arrive at destinations in a wildly varying time frame. Make frequent deviations in his route and keep an eye on the rearview to see if anybody makes the same turns. Any car that shows up more than once and he might have a problem.

Europe is a big place...

Wonder why Clinton is sitting on specifics.

Heading to Hamburg 3 weeks from today for a whole week.

Gee, it must be October in an even-numbered year

“...places frequented by Westerners ...”

There ARE places where Americans like to go. It probably behooves people traveling to and LIVING overseas to change up the locales a bit.
