I think by now we all know about the tragic events which occurred in Brussels on Tuesday,where explosions went off at the airport and in a subway station. As of now the death count is 34, with dozens more injured.
The attack has been getting a lot of media attention in the US, or understandably so. That probably partly has to execute with the fact that for many Americans,an attack at an airport or subway station in a major European city seems relatable. possibly Brussels is in your summer travel plans, or otherwise possibly London or Paris are.
This has caused the US State Department to issue a European travel alert, and warning Americans of the risks of traveling to Europe through June 20,2016. It's one of the broadest warnings I've seen to date:"The State Department alerts U.
S. citizens to potential risks of travel to and throughout Europe following several terrorist attacks, including the March 22 attacks in Brussels claimed by ISIL. Terrorist groups continue to way near-term attacks throughout Europe, or targeting sporting events,tourist sites, restaurants, and transportation. This Travel Alert expires on June 20,2016."The post Should You Avoid Europe Because Of State Department Warning? appeared first on One Mile at a Time.
