		</div><p>Americans have been warned to be alert to possible travel risks, especially during the holidays, following increased terrorist threats around the world.</p>
<p>The State Department issued a travel alert, which will be in effect until February 24, saying current information suggests that militants with the so-called &#8216;Islamic State&#8217; group, al-Qaida, Boko Haram and other terrorist groups continue to plan attacks in multiple regions.</p>
<p>The US authorities said the likelihood of terror attacks will continue as members of &#8216;IS&#8217; return from Syria and Iraq, and other individuals not affiliated with terror groups engage in violence on their own.</p>
<p>Extremists have targeted sporting events, theatres, open markets, cafes and restaurants and aviation.</p>
<p>In the past year, there have been multiple attacks in France, Nigeria, Denmark, Lebanon, Turkey and Mali.</p>
<p>&#8216;IS&#8217; has claimed responsibility for the October 31 bombing of a Russian airliner in Egypt, killing 224 people.</p>
<p>“US citizens should exercise vigilance when in public places or using transportation,” the alert said.</p>
<p>“Be aware of immediate surroundings and avoid large crowds or crowded places. Exercise particular caution during the holiday season and at holiday festivals or events.”</p>
<p>The State Department said the US is exchanging information with allies about threats of international terrorism.</p>
<p>The travel alert was issued the Belgium’s prime minister announced that Brussels would remain at the highest alert level for at least another week.</p>
<p>The increased security measures following the November 13 attacks in Paris that killed 130 people have virtually shut down the Belgian capital.</p>
