The al Qaeda threat that closed U.S. embassies in the Middle East on Sunday is the most serious in years and the “chatter” among suspected terrorists is reminiscent of what preceded the Sept. 11 attacks, a U.S. lawmaker who is briefed on intelligence said.
The State Department closed 21 embassies and consulates and issued a worldwide travel alert warning Americans that al Qaeda may be planning attacks in August, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa.

At first I dismissed this as another scare mongering tactic by the media, but it seems that the US government is taking this extremely seriously. The UK and multiple other governments have followed the US' lead and closed embassies in certain countries across the world, i'm guessing that they share intel on threats like these all the time.
Stay safe everyone, at least they're aware that something is in the works.
