US says terrorist attacks may be imminent in Uzbekistan


WASHINGTON : The United States said that terrorist attacks against US interests in Uzbekistan may be imminent and warned American citizens in the country "to exercise extreme caution."

"The United States government has received information that terrorist groups may be planning attacks against US interests in Uzbekistan in the near future," the State Department said in a statement.

"We remind all Americans that terrorists do not distinguish between official and civilian targets," it said.

"The Department of State urges Americans in Uzbekistan to exercise extreme caution, including avoiding large crowds, celebrations, and places where Westerners generally congregate," it said.
