Euro 2016 could be terrorist target, US warns

The US has warned that the Euro 2016 football championships being held in France next month could be a target of militant attacks.

"The large number of tourists visiting Europe in the summer months will present greater targets for terrorists," the State Department said.

The event is being hosted from 10 June - 12 July at various venues.

France is already under a state of emergency following last year's Islamist-claimed attacks in Paris.
