In his speech to the American public last night regarding the death of Osama bin Laden, President Obama said, “And his death does not mark the end of our effort. There's no doubt that al Qaeda will continue to pursue attacks against us. We must and we will remain vigilant at home and abroad.”
On May 1, the U.S. Department of State issued a world-wide alert: “The U.S. Department of State alerts U.S. citizens traveling and residing abroad to the enhanced potential for anti-American violence given recent counter-terrorism activity in Pakistan.”
In these uncertain times, while we may be celebrating, we must remember to keep safety and attentiveness top priorities here and abroad. Keep those who are studying abroad, traveling abroad and living abroad in your thoughts.
