US the source of terrrorism extends embassies shutdown

US State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki has announced that the country’s embassies and consulates in 19 cities will remain closed until Saturday.

Psaki said on Sunday, “This is not an indication of a new threat stream, merely an indication of our commitment to exercise caution and take appropriate steps to protect our employees including local employees and visitors to our facilities”.
The United States closed 21 embassies and consulates in the Middle East and North Africa on Sunday and issued a global travel alert due to a possible terror attack by al-Qaeda.
US diplomatic posts will remain closed in Egypt, Jordan, Libya, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait among other countries.
On Saturday, top US officials including FBI, CIA, and National Security Agency directors, Secretary of State John Kerry, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel and Gen. Martin Dempsey – the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff – met to discuss the terror threat.
