US To Temporarily Shut Down Embassies Around The World On Sunday.

This is some scary ISH......


The United States will temporarily shut down its embassies and consulates around the world Sunday -- including those in Iraq, Afghanistan and Egypt -- as a precautionary measure over terror-related concerns, State Department officials said.
