Fox News' Terror Warnings Are 'Negligent and Damaging'

[kas125]

The German government has reacted relatively calmly to the current terror warnings, with Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière cautioning against being "alarmist." German commentators believe he has the right attitude.

Since the US State Department issued an official travel advisory on Sunday warning American citizens of imminent terrorist attacks while traveling in Europe, several other countries have joined in and issued their own warnings.

On Monday, Japan and Sweden joined the US in issuing a travel alert for Europe. The UK also updated its advisory for travelers to Germany and France. While Australia did not raise its level of danger, it did re-issue travel advisories to include a reference to US warnings. Despite the fact that the US advisory has come in for criticism for being somewhat abstract, all of the nations who issued alerts were advising citizens to be vigilant and cautious while travelling. Some American troops based in Germany also had a curfew imposed upon them.

"What the US broadcaster Fox News and other media are putting out to the world as allegedly concrete warnings is negligent and damaging, and the substance is ridiculous. Of course, in Berlin if one wanted to conduct an attack, one wouldn't target a snack bar, but rather the Hotel Adlon, the TV Tower, and the central train station. And maybe a couple of other places, that anyone who knows the city a little would think of."
