The
US Department of State issued a Worldwide Travel Alert on Monday,
warning travelers of the potential risks of terrorism by the Islamic
State, Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, and other unaffiliated individuals
inspired by those groups.
The
alert references past threats made against "large sporting
events, theatres, open markets, and aviation services" and cites
attacks in France, Nigeria, Denmark, Turkey, and Mali during the past
year, as well as the downed Russian airliner over Egypt.

Encouraging
US citizens to "exercise vigilance," the State Department
stressed the holiday season and holiday-related festivities as
targets, saying citizens should "follow the instructions of
local authorities" and follow updates in the media when planning
to travel, prepare for additional security screenings, to stay in
touch with family in case of an emergency, and register with State's
Smart Traveler Enrollment Program.
CBS
News Correspondent Margaret Brennan says this is the first World
Travel Alert since December 2014.
