Dear American citizens:



The American Embassy wishes to bring to the attention of American citizens in India that according to Indian media reports, groups claiming responsibility for the September 8, 2011 bombing at the Delhi High Court have indicated that they will continue to target high profile objectives in India.



One group has indicated that it intends to bomb a shopping complex (not further identified) on Tuesday, September 13, 2011. Another group threatened to bomb the Supreme Court and unidentified high courts (possibly in Ahmedabad) throughout India.



The U.S. Government has no information to corroborate these threats.
