(supersedes previous)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.
