The Al-Qaeda threat that closed US embassies in the Middle East - TopicsExpress



          

The Al-Qaeda threat that closed US embassies in the Middle East today (04/08) is the most serious in years. This is according to a US lawmaker who said the "chatter" among suspected terrorists is reminiscent of what preceded the 2001 September 11 attacks. The State Department closed 21 embassies and consulates and issued a worldwide travel alert today. It warned Americans that Al-Qaeda may be planning attacks this month, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa. The threat has also prompted some European countries to close their embassies in Yemen, where an Al-Qaeda affiliate- Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula- is based. 938LIVE/ av
