United States has "credible information" about terrorists planning to carry out strike in some Indian cities and target American nationals, and US Embassy in New Delhi has issued a warning alerting its citizens, a senior Obama administration official said today.



"Yes, we have sufficient credible information," the official said when asked about the reasons for issuing of 'Warden Message' by US Embassy in New Delhi yesterday.

The relevant information has been shared with Indian Government and there is co-operation between the intelligence agencies of the two countries to jointly thwart such a terrorist threat, he added.



However, he did not specify which terrorist outfits were planning such an attack in India particularly at places where US citizens or Westerners are known to congregate or visit.

"Markets, such as those located in Chandni Chowk, Connaught Place, Greater Kailash, Karol Bagh, Mehrauli, and Sarojini Nagar, can be especially attractive targets for terrorist groups," said the Warden message issued by the US Embassy.
