Britain said yesterday it feared imminent terrorist attacks in the
Somali capital Mogadishu, in an update of its advice for travellers to
the east African country. Britain's Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) already advises against any travel to any part of Somalia.
The
Foreign Office said in a statement their advice makes clear that there
continues to be a high threat from terrorism and that the FCO believes
that terrorists are in the final stages of planning attacks in
Mogadishu.
It gave no further details about who Britain believed might commit the attacks or where its information came from.
Security
in Mogadishu has improved since Islamist group al Shabaab fled the city
after a military offensive in August 2011, but bombings and
assassinations are still frequent.
