The United States has issued an advisory to its citizens in the Philippines to reconsider traveling to certain parts of the country, particularly Central Mindanao. “The Embassy has information that a terrorist group may be planning to carry out bombing attacks in central Mindanao over the next several days,” said the advisory from the US embassy in Manila.
Australia, meanwhile, issued today a similar advisory, strongly urging its citizens not to travel to Mindanao and other parts of the country.
