The State Department spokeswoman said Thursday it will close an undetermined number of embassies around the world for the day Sunday, due to safety concerns. In my view might expect protests and anger of many to know the truth. If you can The Zetas comment on this news? [and from another] huffingtonpost/2013/08/01/us-to-close-embassies-sun_n_3690701.html?utm_hp_ref=politics&ir=Politics The United States said it would close an unspecified number of embassies around the world on Sunday [August 4] over security concerns. After Sunday, the government would reassess its options, without specifying the particular threat to the embassies concerned. [and from another] sfgate/news/politics/article/Threat-closes-US-embassies-in-Muslim-world-for-day-4701305.php The United States is shuttering its embassies and consulates throughout the Muslim world on Sunday after receiving an unspecified threat. They were taking action out of an "abundance of caution." Some diplomatic facilities may stay closed for more than a day. The threat was in the Muslim world, where Sunday is a workday. American diplomatic missions in Europe, Latin America and many other places are closed on Sunday. [and from another] foxnews/politics/2013/08/02/us-to-shut-down-american-embassies-around-world-as-terror-threats-grow/#ixzz2anrLxyxs The United States will temporarily shut down its embassies and consulates around the world Sunday, including those in Iraq, Afghanistan and Egypt, as a precautionary measure. [and from another] edition.cnn/2013/07/23/world/meast/iraq-violence An al Qaeda group claimed responsibility for coordinated attacks on two Iraqi prisons that freed more than 500 inmates, including some senior members of the militant group. [and from another] reuters/article/2013/07/30/us-pakistan-prison-attack-idUSBRE96S0WG20130730 In an operation carried out with military-like precision, Taliban fighters disguised as police and armed with bombs broke 250 prisoners out of a Pakistan jail with the help of what appeared to be insider informants. Terror threats are being implied, as the closures are occurring in Muslim countries. Iraq has had massive prison breaks recently with 500 released, as has Pakistan with 250 released, and Egypt is in turmoil. The State Department has been endlessly criticized over the Benghazi incident. The issue will not die because the Republicans are in attack mode against Hillary, whom they see as the likely 2016 presidential candidate. Benghazi security was underfunded by the Republican House, and the sequester forced more cuts. Yet the House is going on August vacation without correcting this situation. The Obama administration is making the point: fund our embassies or deal with these embarrassing closures!
