US issues Baltic terror warning

In a rare warning to Americans living or travelling in the Nordic and Baltic region, United States embassies in the area said they had received ”threat information” and warned them to be cautious.

“The US Department of State wishes to alert US citizens … (and) urges all US citizens in the Nordic and Baltic countries to be vigilant as to their surroundings, especially in centres of ground-based mass transit, and to report any unusual or suspicious persons, incidents or circumstances to the nearest police authorities,” the Embassy’s web site in Helsinki said.
