US citizens warned to keep low profile
KABUL: The US government warned its citizens to keep a low profile in Kabul on Monday after a car bomb hit a private American security company, killing up to 11 people in the deadliest attack in the Afghan capital in two years. Security officials have issued repeated warnings in recent weeks that anti-government militants could ramp up attacks to disrupt the country’s landmark presidential election. On Monday, the US Embassy e-mailed Americans in Kabul to tell them to limit their movements take strict security measures and avoid “potential target areas” such as government offices, NATO bases and restaurants. UN staff was also ordered to keep off the streets as much as possible. ap
