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.
No security threat alert from US issued.
Personally, I believe it's likely here than UK.
Bottom line is, if you can do nothing to prevent it, you have to ignore it to have peace of mind.
Don't panic. Qatar government is very sensitive and pro active. They will protect its peace loving people - be it expats or natives. God bless you all.
This is a standard advice given by the foreign office to UK citizens travelling to the GCC ...
