U.S. Issues Nordic, Baltic Security Alert

[Tab]

HELSINKI (Reuters) - The United States has warned its citizens in the Nordic and Baltic states to be extra vigilant after receiving "threat information" on the eve of the U.S. presidential election.

Norway shut its embassy in Latvian capital Riga just two days after Latvian police increased security at key embassies and installations due to a threat from "Muslim extremists," without specifically mentioning al Qaeda. Oslo said the decision was not linked to the U.S. warning.

In Latvia, the U.S. embassy warned Americans to avoid large shopping areas and transport hubs on or around Nov. 1, according to a statement on its Web site. The U.S. embassy sent out a similar warning to its citizens in Baltic neighbor Estonia.
