The State Department issues a global warning

The US State Department has issued a security alert for US citizens abroad and warns of possible attacks.

Although US warnings often only apply to certain parts of the world or regions, this time the State Department has issued a warning that applies to the entire world.

“Due to the possibility of terrorist attacks, demonstrations, or violent actions against U.S. citizens and interests, the State Department advises U.S. citizens abroad to exercise increased caution. “The State Department is aware of the increased potential for violence by foreign terrorist organizations against LGBTQI+ people and events and advises U.S. citizens abroad to exercise greater caution,” they said.

They also note that American citizens should be more careful in places visited by tourists, including Pride parades and places frequented by LGBTQI+ people.
