US, 4 other countries warn of terrorist attacks in PHL - Nation - GMANews.TV - Official Website of GMA News and Public Affairs - Latest Philippine News: "One week after a near attack by terrorists on its shores, the United States, along with four other countries, issued travel warnings about potential terror threats in the Philippines, particularly in parts of Mindanao.

The US issued on Wednesday (Manila time) a warning against traveling to the Philippines due to “high risk' of terrorist activity not only in southern Philippines, but also in the country’s capital city, Manila.

“Terrorist attacks could be indiscriminate and could occur not only in the southern islands but also in other areas, to include Manila,' the US’ travel warning read.

New Zealand travelers were also advised on Wednesday (Manila time) of “extreme risk' of traveling to the Philippines, particularly in the southern provinces of Basilan and Sulu.

The US’ and New Zealand’s travel warnings came days after three other countries – Australia, United Kingdom and Canada – issued similar travel advisories to its nationals, following the foiled terror attack on the US."
