When I read the headline I immediately thought about a terror attack occuring and that's what grasped my attention. The headline associates with the story because it is putting an alert out for a terror attack in europe but also saying how others may be effected due to connections. The lead was a when lead and the author used the fact that an alert was issued to gain the attention of the readers. A source in this story was The State Departments Undersecretary of State Patrick Kennedy. This source was used as an in source who can verify threats and movements. I think a they should have said how serious the treat is and to what measures should we prepare. This is news worthy because it is for the protection of the people.

I feel like the U.S should really step up protection from terrorist activity. They can even try to find out what terrorist actually want. They have to want something or do they really want to just keep killing themselves for what they believe in? I also feel that the U.S government knows more then what their telling the citizens and that's why they send out little warning so that citizens can at least be aware.
