No specific terror signals in Italy

(supersedes previous)(ANSA) - Rome, May 31 - The chief of Italy's anti-terrorism division said Tuesday there are "no specific signals or particular evidence" pointing to imminent or potential Islamist terror attacks in Italy. "We remain on high alert," said Lamberto Giannini after the US State Department issued a Europe-wide summer travel advisory earlier in the day. "(The situation in) Italy and the whole of Europe requires maximum attention," Giannini said.
    The US State Department issued a travel warning for Europe citing potential risks of terrorist attacks during "major events and at tourist sites". The US authorities cited Euro 2016 in France from June 10 to July 10 as well as restaurants, shopping malls, and public transportation. The travel alert expires as of August 31, the State Department said.
