US Embassy warns of attacks targeting foreigners in Kabul

KABUL, February 9: The United States has warned its citizens in Afghanistan that insurgents are planning to attack foreign guest houses in the capital city of Kabul as of early this month.
A U.S. Embassy statement issued early Tuesday says the warning is based on reports it has received, adding there is no further information regarding the timing, target, location, or method of any planned attack.
“Unidentified insurgents are planning to attack unidentified foreign guest houses in Kabul City, possibly near the Qala-e Fatullah neighborhood. The attack could also occur near Ansari or Haji Yaqub roundabouts in Kabul City,” it said.
The embassy again warned against travel to Afghanistan, saying the security situation in the country is “extremely unstable and the threat to all U.S. citizens in Afghanistan remains critical.”-Agencies
