The British Foreign Office has issued a warning there is a “high threat of a terrorist attack” globally and in Dubai and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) which could affect UK interests.
Brits are being warned against possible terrorist attacks this Christmas as they are “likely to try and carry out attacks in the UAE.”
The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) warned in their latest travel guidance, that there is a high threat of a possible attack targeting Jewish and Israeli linked areas.
The FCDO said, “Terrorists are likely to try to carry out attacks in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).”
The British government has warned that there could be “indiscriminate” attacks at places where British tourists go.
The FCDO warning said, “Terrorists continue to issue statements threatening to carry out attacks in the Gulf region. These include references to attacks on western interests, including against UK citizens. Due to increasing regional tensions, Israeli and Jewish linked sites could be targets for terrorists in the UAE.”
The FCDO added, “There is a high threat of terrorist attack globally affecting UK interests and British nationals, including from groups and individuals who view the UK and British nationals as targets. Stay aware of your surroundings at all times.”
The attacks could take place at military sites, residential compounds, aviation, crowded places, beaches, hotels, shopping malls or restaurants.
