The Government has updated its guidance for the holiday hotspot
British travellers heading to Turkey have been warned that the country faces a heightened risk of terrorism. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has updated its travel advice for the popular holiday destination.
The advice, which was published on Sunday, January 29, says: "There is a potential that citizens from western countries may be targets or caught up in attacks, particularly in the major cities."Terrorists are very likely to try to carry out attacks in Turkey," the guidance says. "Attacks could be indiscriminate, and occur without warning, including in places visited by foreigners, affecting public buildings, places of worship, major events or large public gatherings.
"Previous methods of attack have included armed assaults, suicide bombings, car bombings, rocket attacks, arson and improvised explosive devices left in refuse bins, crowded areas, shops and on public transport. Be vigilant, monitor media reports and keep up to date with this travel advice.
