U.S. military bases across Europe are on a heightened terror alert. They’ve been put on alert level “Charlie” — the second highest state of alert. The specific nature of the threat has not been disclosed, but officials said it is not related to the French elections. U.S. European Command states they are constantly assessing security and remain vigilant.
According to the Army, Charlie “applies when an incident occurs or intelligence is received indicating some form of terrorist action or targeting against personnel or facilities is likely.”
