The US State Department issued an alert yesterday calling for Americans in Europe to be vigilant about possible terror attacks.

Like other large European countries, there is a high threat from terrorism in the UK. The British Government currently assesses the risk of terror attacks in the UK as highly likely.

In a statement following the US travel alert, British Home Secretary Theresa May said:

“As we have consistently made clear, we face a real and serious threat from terrorism. Our threat level remains at severe — meaning that an attack is highly likely. We work closely with our international partners in countering terrorism and the US advice is consistent with our assessment.”

We encourage all Americans with plans to visit the UK to review the State Department’s
tips for safe travel abroad.
