“Terrorists may attack with little or no warning, targeting tourist locations, transportation hubs, markets, shopping malls, government facilities, hotels, clubs, restaurants, places of worship, parks, major sporting and cultural events, educational institutions, airports, hospitals, and other public areas,” it said.
The security alert warned citizens to be aware of their surroundings when travelling to tourist locations and crowded public venues. “Follow the instructions of local authorities,” it said.
