US issues global terrorism alert for American travelers

The State Department issued a global travel alert to warn Americans abroad of a potential terrorist attack before the end of August.

Sen. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia tells NBC's "Meet the Press" that "there's an awful lot of chatter out there" and he says it's "very reminiscent of what we saw pre-9/11."

Sen. Chambliss is describing "the chatter" detected by U.S. intelligence agencies that led the Obama administration to order the weekend closure of 21 U.S. embassies and consulates in the Muslim world, and issue a global travel warning to Americans.
