9 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The United States authorities have issued a security alert this Thursday for possible attacks in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, and other cities in the country, which is why they have demanded that their citizens “exercise surveillance in places frequented by tourists and foreigners “.

“Places frequented by US citizens and other foreigners and tourists in Nairobi and elsewhere in Kenya remain attractive targets for terrorists planning to carry out potentially imminent attacks,” the US Embassy in Kenya said.

Thus, it has indicated in a statement published on its website that “terrorist groups could attack hotels, embassies, restaurants, shopping centers, markets, schools, police stations, places of worship and other places frequented by foreigners and tourists without warning. “.

“The Government of Kenya has increased anti-terrorist patrols,” he stressed, before asking its citizens to “review their security plans”, “be aware of the situation around you” and “monitor the local media for updates”.

For his part, the spokesman for the Kenyan National Police, Resila Onyango, has stated in statements given to the Kenyan newspaper ‘The Standard’ that there is no cause for alarm and has stressed that the agents “continue to be alert”.
