Shouldn't they add in a list of US states?

Jokes aside, US State Department warnings this devoid of detail usually indicate that there is intelligence of an increased likelihood of a hate crime outside of the US, without confirmation of intended location as of yet. Be safe if you’re abroad.

They only seem to be counting foreign terrorists, not domestic ones.
