US Embassy Warns OF School Attack

Just got an Email today from US Embassy in Abu Dhabi warning of planned attacks by jihadists on American and International Schools in the Middle East. It was pretty vague and did not list a specific country.

Well, let's not get alarmed by this. There are probably as many chances of this happening on the US or UK mainland as here in the ME. Let us hope that the locals have got their ear to the train tracks and can hear anything coming down the lines.

Peace out.

The warning sent in Saudi, said that there was NO specific plan for any potential attack.

It specifically said they were making a blanket warning because of posts on an anonymous website that were calling for lone wolf attacks.

The warning was for basically the entire ME.

Methinks the most dangerous part of our kids' day in the ME is still the journey to and from school...
