The United States of America Embassy in Kenya has issued a terror alert, saying a terrorist group could be plotting an attack against a major hotel in Nairobi.
In the alert issued on the Embassy’s official website on Thursday, February 27, the US says “the exact hotel has not been identified, but it is believed to be a hotel popular with tourists and business travelers”.
The Embassy has advised its citizens to exercise increased vigilance when visiting or staying at hotels in Nairobi.
“If staying at a hotel, be aware of the hotel’s evacuation plan. Plan ahead of time how you would exit the hotel in case of an emergency,” said the Embassy, further urging its citizens to review their personal security plans.
“Be aware of your surroundings and monitor local media for updates,” advised the United States.
