US warns travelers to East Africa of terror risk

2 days ago

KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — The U.S. Embassy in Uganda says Americans in East Africa may be at an increased risk of attack from terrorists as the 10th anniversary of a double bombing approaches.

The embassy says a number of al-Qaida operatives are believed to be in East Africa and could endanger U.S. facilities and personnel as Aug. 7 approaches.

Ten years ago terrorists bombed American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania on that date.

The embassy's message issued Tuesday warned that increased security at official U.S. facilities may cause terrorists to seek softer targets where tourists congregate.
