WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The State Department said it has received "several possible threats" against the U.S. Embassy in Bangladesh and other U.S. interests there.
"American citizens in Bangladesh should remain vigilant, particularly in public places frequented by foreigners, including but not limited to hotels, restaurants, shopping areas, and places of worship. They also should avoid demonstrations and large crowds," the State Department said in its "public announcement" on Tuesday.
Americans considering travel to Bangladesh should register with the U.S. Embassy where "they may obtain updated information on travel and security within Bangladesh."
The State Department did not elaborate on the nature of the threats against the embassy in Dhaka or the other U.S. interests.
