Closed captioning of: U.S. travelers cautioned of terror in Europe
>>>
and more on that alert for
americans
traveling in
europe
. jim maceda is here with the latest.
>> reporter:
it's been five years since the last major attack here but american travelers are finding out that terrorism in
europe
is not history. for
americans
traveling abroad,
europe
has suddenly gotten more dangerous.
>>
i'll just keep my
eyes open
and hopefully things will work out.
>>
we're just going to be a little bit cautious now getting on the train.
>> reporter:
they're worried about the rare
travel advisory
issued on sunday that
americans
be on their guard. as european intelligence in recent weeks suggest that terrorists could be preparing a coordinated attack in germany, the uk and elsewhere. but the warning references no specific threat.
>>
i think the draw to come and see beautiful,
ancient history
is more important than the worry of
terrorist threats
.
>> reporter:
still much of
europe
has heightened its terrorist
threat level
after a convergence of troubling reports. here in great britain, rumor of a so-called mumbai style plot that killed 170 three years ago. in france, rumors that a
north african
al qaeda
affiliate has smuggled a female in. and officials are still assessing the credibility of an afghan man captured by
u.s. soldiers
in kabul and talk to u.s. agents. this man says that
bin laden
himself helped finance a terrorism plot against major u.s. cities.
>>
it's very nonspecific, but it's trying to raise awareness of
international terrorism
that threatens parts of the u.s. as well as
western europe
.
>> reporter:
for now american europes are staying vij jept. and today police arrested a man at a train center the paris. so far there's no days that he's part of a larger terrorist plot.
