According to a US intelligence memo reported by N12, plans to target American representatives have reached advanced stages. The memo does not identify the targets or describe the plans.
The report published on Saturday says an unclassified memo was sent on Friday to Secretary of State Marco Rubio. It calls for wider sharing of information with staff who could be at risk, but does not identify target countries outside the Middle East.
US officials linked the threat to staff reductions at some diplomatic missions in the region, according to the report. This is a reported intelligence warning about plans, not an announcement of an attack that has taken place. The newsroom has not independently verified the original document.
