U.S. State Department Issues a Global Travel Alert
The U.S. State Department has issued a Global Travel Alert. The U.S. State Department has noted increased concerns of an attack at the end of Ramadan or from now until the end of August. The attacks could be on embassy’s or other targets like large transportation hubs. Al Qaeda in Yemen is the biggest concern, but also fear for targets in the middle east area in general. The U.S. State Department are closing a number of embassy’s in the middle east as a result. Here is the full list on the U.S. State Department Website:

With the recent revelations of the NSA I would guess they have good reason to take these measures.
