The US has issued a worldwide travel alert for its citizens due to "increased terrorist threats".
"Current information suggests that ISIL, al Qaeda, Boko Haram and other terrorist groups continue to plan terrorist attacks in multiple regions," the State Department said.
"These attacks may employ a wide variety of tactics, using conventional and non-conventional weapons and targeting both official and private interests."
It cited recent attacks in Denmark, France, Mali, Nigeria and Turkey.
"US citizens should exercise vigilance when in public places or using transportation," the statement added.
Americans were also advised to avoid large crowds or crowded places and to "exercise particular caution during the holiday season".
The travel alert will be in place until 24 February.
