| 2013-08-03 |
| [BUSINESSINSIDER] The State Department has issued a worldwide travel alert because of the threat of terrorist attacks from al-Qaeda and affiliated organizations, it said Friday. The State Department cited the potential for terrorist attacks in the Middle East, North Africa, and the Arabian Peninsula. "Current information suggests that al-Qaeda and affiliated organizations continue to plan terrorist attacks both in the region and beyond, and that they may focus efforts to conduct attacks in the period between now and the end of August," the department said in a statement. The department said that the alert does not expire until Aug. 31. On Thursday, the State Department said it would close at least 18 diplomatic posts in the Middle East and surrounding areas because of the threats. |

| #3 Looking at the map, appears the US Embassy of one tiny little country in the region was excluded from closure. Israel is not on the list. Is this because the nasty ole Jooooos won't put up with the AQ and terrorist bullshi* and stand firmly in support of their allies, even the odious and despicable Soetoro ? Rhetorical question of course. |
