The findings appear to be linked to plans “for an imminent attack,” with officials warning U.S. citizens to remain at home or in a safe location until the issue is cleared.

“At this point we are not aware of specific targets, and the Ugandan authorities have increased security at key sites, including Entebbe International Airport,” the statement reads.

Citizens are cautioned to be aware of surroundings, avoid crowds, monitor local news stations and “maintain a high level of vigilance.”
