U.S. Embassy in Bangladesh warns of possible New Year`s Eve attacks
The U.S. Embassy in Dhaka warned U.S. citizens Tuesday of potential attacks in Bangladesh`s capital city in the coming days, potentially on New Year`s Eve.
The attacks could target hotels and clubs, the embassy said in a statement. Dhaka police are heightening security measures on Thursday by increasing checkpoints in various locations and banning outdoor parties after 8 p.m.

The announcement comes the same day that Belgium police arrested two men in connection with a suspected terror plot tied to New Year`s celebrations in Brussels. It`s unclear whether the Bangladesh alert is related.
