Canada raises risk level to ‘high’ for travelers to Italy due to terrorism, but doesn’t say what kind

Canada has changed its risk level for any travelers to Italy to “exercise a high degree of caution” due to terrorism.

But identifying Islamic terrorism specifically is avoided, as the Canadian government does not want being deemed “Islamophobic.” All the Canadian government would say is that “the elevated risk level comes as there is a threat of terrorism in Europe.” Yet European states such as Germany, Spain and France have also raised their alerts to levels of high risk, and have even made it clear that the elevated threat comes from Islamic terrorism.

Italy “raised its terror alert to the highest possible level following the terror attack in Moscow that killed around 140 people, as experts say that the country is not immune to the risk.”

Italy followed France’s lead. France’s decision came “months before Paris hosts the Olympic Games” and was taken “in light of the Islamic State’s claiming responsibility for the (Moscow) attack and the threats weighing on our country.”

With regard to Spain, according to Spain’s National Security Council (CSN) report, Israel’s war on Hamas was presented as a “‘real and direct risk’ of an increase in the ‘terrorist threat, violent (Islamist) extremism, and the emergence of new movements promoting a radical and violent ideology.’” In Germany, “ Islamic extremism” is also named as the risk factor.



“Canada warning residents travelling to Italy, Germany, France and Spain to ‘exercise a high degree of caution’ due to terrorism threats,” Inside Halton, June 4, 2024:

Canada has changed the risk level of anyone travelling to Italy any time soon.

The “risk level,” a level that the Canadian government assigns to all countries based on how safe it is to travel there, was upgraded from “take normal security precautions” to “exercise a high degree of caution” on Tuesday (June 4) due to the threat of terrorism, the government said on its website.

France, Germany and Spain are under the same risk level as Italy.

The change in risk level now means “there are certain safety and security concerns or the situation could change quickly. Be very cautious at all times, monitor local media and follow the instructions of local authorities,” the government said on its website.

This elevated risk level comes as there is a threat of terrorism in Europe, the Canadian government said.

“Terrorists have carried out attacks in several European cities and further attacks elsewhere in Europe are likely. Attacks in Italy cannot be ruled out,” the warning reads……
