ABC News is reporting via the Blotter that there are now very strong concerns that terrorist teams in Europe have selected their targets, completed surveillance, eluded capture and are ready to strike at airports, hotels, tourist attractions and other soft targets.
This has prompted the State Department to ready a highly unusual travel advisory for Europe that is expected to be released soon.
According to ABC News sources, the terror plotters have moved through the surveillance stage, checked back in with al Qaeda in Pakistan, and have received the go-ahead to strike.
