Washington, Dec 10: The US State Department warned its citizens of possible danger if they travel to Bangladesh, a statement said. "The US government has recently received information regarding several possible threats against the US Embassy in Dhaka and other US interests in Bangladesh," it said yesterday.
"American citizens in Bangladesh should remain vigilant, particularly in public places frequented by foreigners, including but not limited to hotels, restaurants, shopping areas, and places of worship." "They also should avoid demonstrations and large crowds."
It did recommend us travelers consult the state department consular information sheet and register with the Embassy in Dhaka.
In July, the US Embassy in Dhaka issued a bleaker warning of unconfirmed threats against US officials and "terrorists" who may target facilities where us citizens congregate.
Yesterday's warning mentioned neither threats nor terrorism. Bureau Report
