U.S. embassy warns citizens in Turkey about 'credible' terrorist threats
The United States warned U.S. citizens in Turkey on Tuesday about "credible" terrorist threats to tourist areas in the country.
Turkey has been hit by four suicide bombings already this year, most recently in Istanbul last month. Two of the bombings have been blamed on Islamic State, while Kurdish militants have claimed responsibility for the other two.
"The U.S. government continues to receive credible indications that terrorist groups are seeking opportunities to attack popular tourist destinations throughout Turkey," the embassy in Ankara said in a statement emailed to U.S. citizens.
"Foreign tourists in Turkey have been explicitly targeted by terrorist organizations," the U.S. embassy said in what it described as an "emergency message".
