NAIROBI, Kenya - The U.S. embassy in Uganda warned American citizens in the country Saturday to stay at home overnight as Ugandan authorities attempt to foil a possible terror attack.
The embassy in a message on its website said it is trying to assess the scope of a possible plot by the Somali militant group al-Shabab, and whether members of the cell plotting the attack are still at large.
The warning did not have details of when or how the attack was to take place.
Al-Shabab, an Islamic extremist group linked to Al-Qaida, has vowed to revenge the killing of its former leader last week by a U.S. airstrike.
