Europe Military Bases Go on Heightened Alert as Pentagon Officials Cite Olympics, Euro Cup

U.S. military bases across Europe were put on heightened alert over the weekend due to concerns that terrorist activity or attacks on personnel or installations are "likely," according to an Army explanation of the threat level.

However, Pentagon officials said Monday that the move to put all Europe bases on the second-highest alert status was not done out of any specific threat but rather an abundance of caution, given several major public events happening over the summer on the continent, including the Euro Cup soccer tournament and the Olympics.

 
"It was due to a combination of factors potentially impacting the safety and security of service members stationed in the European theater," Sabrina Singh, Pentagon spokeswoman, told reporters Monday. "I'm not going to get into more specifics on the intelligence itself, but it's not a single threat -- it's a combination of different factors."

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
