"I, along with my wife and children, have travelled

The US issued a travel advisory to its citizens asking
them to be cautious and maintain a low profile in the wake of
an incident of firing in which two Taiwanese were injured near
Jama Masjid.
"US citizens are urged to always practice 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 while visiting
public places, including religious sites," the advisory issued
by the US embassy had said.
The US continues to develop information on potential
security threats to its citizens overseas and shares credible
threat information through Consular Information Program
documents such as Travel Warnings and Travel Alerts as well as
Country Information, it read.
Britain, Australia, New Zealand and some other
countries also issued travel advisories and raised concerns
about possible terror threat during the Games.
