U.S. and European security experts are concerned with the safety of Europe as they believe that al-Qaida is planning more terrorist attacks. Also, Osama bin Laden is thought to be behind the plotting of the attacks. To protect Americans living or traveling in Europe, the Obama administration, on Sunday, encouraged vigilance especially in public places, tourist attractions and transportation hubs. The threat level, being "severe", is considered to potentially hurt tourism in Europe and students who are wishing to study-abroad.
Above all, I wish that nobody in Europe will come to harm. I find it extremely unfortunate for American students who are planning to study-abroad either sooner or later, depending on how long the threat will last. Chances are, students that are planning to study-abroad will less likely to be able to do so for the time being. Just as well, tourists who are hoping to visit the Louvre Museum or the Eiffel Tower in Paris may have to postpone their dates to a later time since sites such as these are probably prime targets for terrorist attacks. Osama bin Laden's persistency to cause paranoia in Europe truly stands as a testament to his cowardice. Hopefully, when he briefly finds some cajones to step out of hiding, we can finally blast him to bits and be ease up on the paranoia.
