US warns of global 'terror' threat after French attack

The United States on Friday (Jan 9) warned Americans to beware of "terrorist actions and violence" all over the world, following the attacks on the Charlie Hebdo magazine and a Jewish supermarket in Paris.

"Recent terrorist attacks, whether by those affiliated with terrorist entities, copycats, or individual perpetrators, serve as a reminder that US citizens need to maintain a high level of vigilance and take appropriate steps to increase their security awareness," the State Department said.

The advisory is an update to its "Worldwide Caution" from Oct 10, 2014 and comes after three days of bloodshed in France that started on Wednesday when heavily armed radical gunmen burst into the offices of Charlie Hebdo and killed 12 people. Four people were then killed Friday at a Jewish supermarket in Paris.

The State Department statement said that US-led coalition bombing raids on the radical Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria made US nationals and interests a target for reprisals, "especially in the Middle East, North Africa, Europe and Asia."

  3. Francia, media: "Compagna Coulibaly in Siria". Allerta massima per il corteo di Parigi...

    In un clima ancora teso e costellato di falsi allarmi, prosegue la ricerca di Hayat Boumeddiene, compagna del terrorista ucciso nel blitz al supermarket kosher. Alcune voci dicono sia in Siria. Falsi allarmi a Parigi, alta tensione e ingenti misure di sicurezza per la manifestazione di domani cui parteciparanno leader internazionali. Dimostrazioni anti-terrorismo in molte città.

    Parigi il giorno dopo i due sanguinosi blitz contro gli è una città ancora sotto shock, dove si disseminano le voci e gli allarmi incontrollati. Alla paura che ancora domina tutto il Paese e alla caccia a Hayat Boumeddiene, compagna del terrorista ucciso nel blitz al supermarket kosher, si associa il desiderio di risollevarsi, e la pressione dell'onda montante della solidarietà - con la preparazione della manifestazione di domani a Parigi che si preannuncia oceanica e con la partecipazione dei maggiori leader europei. La partenza dovrebbe essere alle 15 da Piazza della Repubblica, l'arrivo a Place de La Nation. Almeno 1.350 uomini saranno dispiegati in città per garantire la sicurezza del corteo......................http://www.repubblica.it/esteri/2015/01/10/news/francia_ora_e_caccia_a_hayat_boumeddien-104644768/?rss
