KAMPALA, July 3 (Xinhua) -- U.S. has warned its citizens in Uganda that intelligence showed that there is likely to be a terror attack at the country's Entebbe International Airport.
The U.S. embassy in Uganda said in a statement posted on its website on Thursday that it had received information from the Uganda police force that there is a specific threat to attack the airport located 40 km south of the capital Kampala.
""The U.S. Embassy has received information from the Uganda Police Force that according to intelligence sources there is a specific threat to attack Entebbe International Airport by an unknown terrorist group today, July 3, between the hours of 21:00 p.m.-- 23:00 p.m.,"" the statement said.
""Individuals planning travel through the airport this evening may want to review their plans in light of this information,"" the statement added.
The embassy said Uganda continues to face terror threats.
""The targets for these attacks could include hotels, restaurants, nightclubs, shopping malls, diplomatic missions, transportation hubs, religious institutions, government offices, or public transportation,"" the statement said.
The Ugandan police earlier on Thursday said it had beefed up security in the country to avert any possible terror attack.
Patrick Onyango, the Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesman told Xinhua by telephone that security has been enhanced in the capital Kampala and major towns to avoid the repeat of the 2010 World Cup final, when Somali militants Al-Shabaab carried twin bombings in the capital, killing 78 football fans.
The twin bombings at Kyadondo Rugby Club and Ethiopian Village Restaurant, Kabalagala left 78 dead and dozens injured.
Onyango said counter terrorism police, bomb squad and military are manning the capital, major towns and doing on-spot checks to prevent any terror attacks.
Early last month, police issued a terror alert that four vehicles reportedly carrying terrorists were suspected to have sneaked into the country using the Kenya-Uganda border.

Have you noticed Jonah Hill’s fat loss before and after picture yet? His transformation amazing if you ask me. The actor has supposedly shed about forty lbs of just belly fat for the new role in the cinematic production of 21 Jump Street. He has been quoted as saying “I wouldn’t say it’s the most fun endeavor I’ve ever took on in my life – but it’s important. And I’m enjoying it. If I eat something unhealthy now, I kind of feel a little weird and my body hurts.”
His quote is really what a lot of human beings say when they lose a ton of weight and start eating better. The food that we usually put into our systems each day is quite unhealthy, some more so than others. And the one and only reason why we never realize it is because we are used to feeling this way.
We are used to being tired, non energetic, bloated and gassy throughout the day but the problem is that it is not average to be like this. We should be bursting with tons of energy that can carry us from noon to night.
Although it is tough to say what Jonah really did when talking about his diet to get rid of the excess 40 pounds, he did find a fitness trainer and a dietician to dial in his exercise program and his nutrition plan.
