France retaliates following British travel warning
7 October 2010French visitors to the United Kingdom have been urged to employ “‘extreme vigilance’†amid growing fears of a terrorist attack in the country.
Offering new travel advice to its citizens, the French government warned an attack on British public transport was now “‘highly likely’â€.
The latest developments follow news a UK terror suspect killed in Pakistan was being groomed to lead a new group in raids on the UK, France and Germany.
The new advice on the French defence ministry website said: “‘The British authorities consider the terror threat level is very high in the United Kingdom and the risk of an attack is highly likely.'”
The United States also believes a cell of Germans and Britons are at the heart of a terror plot against European cities, a plan they link to al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.
Germany, meanwhile, says it remains watchful but that there is no reason to be “‘alarmist’â€.
