US embassy: Embassy reiterates its alert to U.S. citizens of potential terrorist attacks in Azerbaijan

“We work with the relevant institutions of the Government of Azerbaijan to ensure that the US Embassy has the appropriate level of security”, spokesperson for the US embassy Keith Bean told APA commenting on reiteration of the alert of the potential terrorist attacks in Azerbaijan.

“We are providing information for American citizens to increase their awareness of potential threats so that they can prudently plan their travel and conduct while abroad”.

“Based on credible threat information, the embassy reiterated its January 29, 2011 alert to U.S. citizens of the potential for terrorist attacks in Azerbaijan, including against American interests”, said Keith Bean. “As a matter of policy we do not comment on the nature or source of the threat information, but we deem the threats to be credible and encourage Americans to remain vigilant. We continue to work normally”.

Israeli embassy in Azerbaijan was not available to know its opinion on recent alert of Israeli anti-terror headquarters about potential terrorist attacks in Azerbaijan. Credible source told APA that the embassy suspended its activity for indefinite time because of potential threat.

The embassy of the United Kingdom, one of the countries alerting their citizens about possible terror threat in Azerbaijan, also was not available to learn its reaction. The embassy didn’t make comments on the question of security measures and contact with relevant organizations of Azerbaijan.
