WASHINGTON — The State Department issued a worldwide caution Monday night urging Americans to remain especially vigilant around this week's anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.
"There is a continuing threat of terrorist actions, which may target civilians and include suicide operations," the statement said.
It said the U.S. government continues to receive "credible indications that extremist groups and individuals are planning additional terrorist actions against U.S. interests."
The statement reminded Americans to remain vigilant and exercise caution.
It said terrorist groups do not distinguish between official and civilian targets.
"Attacks on places of worship and schools, and the murder of American citizens demonstrate that as security is increased at official U.S. facilities, terrorists and their sympathizers will seek softer targets," the statement said.
Targets may include places where Americans are generally known to congregate, such as clubs, restaurants, places of worship, schools or recreational events.
The statement urged Americans to increase their security awareness when they are at such locations, avoid them or switch to other locations where Americans in large numbers generally do not congregate. It warned that American citizens may be targeted for kidnapping or assassination.
U.S. government facilities worldwide remain at a heightened state of alert and may temporarily close or suspend public services from time to time to review their security posture.
