US Embassy in Turkey warns of terror threat against Americans
The statement urged US citizens to avoid crowds and keep a low profile in areas frequented by foreigners.
In a security alert issued Friday, the US Embassy in Turkey warned of a terror threat toward Americans in Istanbul and across the country.
“The U.S. Mission in Turkey has received credible reports of potential terrorist attacks and kidnappings against U.S. citizens and foreign nationals in Istanbul, including against the U.S. Consulate General, as well as potentially other locations in Turkey,” read the statement from the American embassy in Turkey’s capital, Ankara.
