US bases in Europe on high alert for possible terrorist attack: DOD

U.S. military bases throughout Europe have been put on heightened alert status due to a potential terrorist attack, Fox News Digital has confirmed. 

"There is credible intel pointing to an attack against U.S. bases over the next week or so," a U.S. defense official told Fox News’ Lucas Tomlinson. 

The official, who declined to be identified because he was not authorized to speak to the media, did not elaborate on the nature of the threat, but confirmed it was not tied to the French elections.
