US asks its nationals to be alert during India visit

US-LD ADVISORY

Washington, Jan 30 (PTI) Terror groups may be planning
attacks in India, the US State Department has warned in its
latest advisory and asked its nationals to be alert while
visiting the country in the coming months.

"The Department of State alerts US citizens to ongoing
security concerns in India. The US government continues to
receive information that terrorist groups may be planning
attacks in India," the State Department said.
Terrorists and their sympathisers have demonstrated their
willingness and capability to attack targets where US citizens
or Westerners are known to congregate or visit.
Cautioning that the Mumbai attacks were a vivid reminder
that hotels, markets and other public places are especially
targeted by terror groups, the State Department asked its
nationals to always practise good security, maintain a
heightened situational awareness and a low profile.
"US citizens are advised to monitor local news reports
and consider the level of security present when visiting
public places, including religious sites, or choosing hotels,
restaurants, entertainment and recreation venues," it said.
A month back also, the US, apprehending a Mumbai-type
terrorist attack in various parts of India, had alerted its
citizens to be cautious during their visit to the country. PTI
