US bases on heightened alert due to increased potential terror threat

Meantime, U.S. military bases in Europe are on high alert tonight. Defense officials are warning of a possible terror attack. We get specifics from chief national security correspondent Jennifer Griffin at the Pentagon. ISIS, Iranian proxies or Russian agents. U.S. military officials say there was not a threat from a particular terror group. That led to the top American general overseeing U.S. military bases in Europe to raise the force protection condition to Charlie, the highest level in 10 years, fearing a potential terror threat targeting U.S. military bases. The bases, which provide support to NATO, remain on high alert as the alliance prepares next week to celebrate its 75th anniversary. US European Command is taking steps to increase vigilance for our service members, their families and our facilities. It was out of an abundance of caution as large crowds gather at pack stadiums for the Euro Cup and the Paris Olympics begin on July 26th. the US has more than 100,000 service members stationed across Europe. The base is on alert include the US European Command headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany. Service members have been told to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity. Iran's supreme leader issued an obtuse veiled threat. the US has bases all over the world. In such a situation, any movement, any action, and any revolution that only pays attention to its own internal environment and neglects foreign developments will certainly suffer a blow. On June 3rd, a 26 year old Russian Ukrainian was arrested near Charles de Gaulle airport outside Paris following an accident involving the manufacture of explosives. French authorities suggested the perpetrator was planning to bomb a hardware store north of Paris. Part of a sabotage campaign orchestrated by Moscow. Brett, Jennifer Griffin at the Pentagon. Jennifer, thanks.
