US warns citizens of terror threat in India

New Delhi, August 11: The US embassy in Delhi has once again issued a terror advisory to its citizens visiting India.

The advisory said there was a continued possibility of terror attacks in India and US citizens in the country should be on alert.

According to the advisory, Independence Day celebrations could provide terrorist groups an opportunity or pretext to stage an attack.

The 26/11 attacks in Mumbai have shown how luxury hotels were especially attractive targets for terrorist groups, the advisory said. It urged US citizens to stay aware, monitor local news reports, vary their routes and times while carrying out daily activities and keep a low profile.
