The new advisory states that attacks in Qatar are likely. It could be indiscriminate and happen in places frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers.

“Terrorists continue to issue statements threatening to carry out attacks in the Gulf region. There is a heightened threat of terrorist attack globally against UK interests and British nationals, from groups or individuals motivated by the conflict in Iraq and Syria. You should be vigilant at this time,” it said.
