US embassy warns citizens over possible Tunisia mall attack
None
TUNIS - The United States embassy in Tunisia has warned its citizens to avoid a major shopping mall in the capital Tunis on Sunday because of a reported threat of a potential militant attack there.
Tunisia is under a state of emergency following a suicide bomb attack on a presidential guard bus in Tunis last month. That followed two major militant gun attacks on a Tunis museum and a beach hotel targeting foreign tourists.
A statement late on Saturday advised US citizens to stay away from the Tunisia Mall in Berges du Lac area in the capital on Sunday because a "report of unknown credibility indicates the possibility of a terrorist attack."
