The British High Commission in Dhaka on Friday updated its travel advisory, alerting its citizens of a fresh attack on foreigners.
‘There is a high threat from terrorism. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) has claimed responsibility for the recent murders of two foreign nationals,’ said the latest travel advisory.
‘Further attacks targeting westerners may occur and could be indiscriminate. You should be particularly vigilant, consider your movements carefully and take appropriate security precautions.
‘Keep a low profile in all public spaces and limit your attendance at events where westerners may gather, for example in hotels or conference centres.’
The UK had issued similar alert earlier on September 28.
A Japanese national was shot dead by unidentified assailants in Rangpur on October 3.
The murder took place less than a week of the killing of an Italian citizen in Dhaka.
