WASHINGTON — The United States said Friday that it had warned its citizens in Egypt that a guerrilla attack could be carried out in Cairo shortly.
The State Department, in a written statement, said the U.S. government had received “information of undetermined reliability that extremist groups may be planning terrorist attacks against U.S. interests in the near future.”
“U.S. citizens traveling to or residing in Cairo are advised to exercise greater caution than usual,” the statement said.
The U.S. government has for some years had a policy of making public such threats when they are received.
The statement gave no further details.
