Japan and Sweden issued travel alerts for Europe on Monday, joining the United States and Britain in caution of a possible terrorist attack by al-Qaeda or other groups.
The two newest alerts came one day after the Obama administration formally warned Americans about potential terrorist attacks in Europe, urging U.S. citizens to be careful on public carrying and at tourist sites. The State Department "travel alert" stops short of advising Americans to stay away from Europe or to take precautions in any specific country, city or activity.
The Foreign Ministry in Tokyo urged Japanese citizens to be cautious when using public transport or visiting popular tourist sites — issuing another waft to Europe's tourism industry, which is just starting to recover from the global financial crisis
