Dubai: The UK issued a warning of a possible terrorist attack in Oman on Thursday. “There is information of a threat in the Thumrayt area in Dhofar, in the south of Oman and enhanced security measures are in place.
British Nationals are advised to follow the security advice of local authorities,” the statement read. “You should maintain a high level of security awareness and take care in public places and on the roads. Avoid large crowds and demonstrations,” it added. The statement said that attacks, although unlikely, could be indiscriminate, including in places frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers. It added that terrorists continue to issue statements threatening to carry out attacks in the Gulf region. These include references to attacks on western interests, including residential compounds, military, oil, transport and aviation interests.
