U.S. Issues Security Warning for South
The U.S. Consulate in Hong Kong is warning Americans that they could face a security threat in clubs, restaurants and schools in southern China.
In a message posted on its website, the consulate also said it had received “credible information” a terrorist threat may exist against U.S. government facilities in the city of Guangzhou.
The message was posted days after the U.S. withdrew a notice saying China had warned its luxury hotels that Islamic extremists may be planning attacks. U.S. officials backpedaled after China said the source of the reported threats was not credible.
