U.S. and other countries issue travel alert for Europe
The State Department has issued an alert for Americans traveling in Europe. This after the arrest of a German of Pakistani origin, who reportedly has provided information on increased activity among a small cell of potential terrorists hiding in a remote region of Pakistan. This is just short of a warning, which might trigger cancellations of hotel bookings and airline reservations. Japan and Britain have joined in the alert as well. If you have travel plans to Europe, should you be wary?
