US warns citizens in Istanbul to curb movements
The US Consulate General in Istanbul is warning American citizens to limit their movements in the city in the wake of the bloody nightclub attack.
The consulate said in a statement Sunday that "security operations are still ongoing in the aftermath of the January 1st gunfire attack at Reina nightclub" and that "US citizens are advised to shelter in place and to limit movements to an absolute minimum."
It also is urging Americans in Istanbul to keep in close contact with concerned family members in the US.
The statement reminds US citizens that extremists "are continuing aggressive efforts to conduct attacks in areas where US citizens and expatriates reside or frequent."
