Chinese police have warned that terrorists could be planning attacks on luxury hotels in China next week, the US embassy in Beijing said Wednesday, 10 days before a visit by US President George W. Bush.
"The Embassy has learned that Chinese police advised hotels that Islamic extremist elements could be planning to attack four and five star hotels in China sometime over the course of the next week," a statement on the embassy's website said.
"Chinese authorities have assured the Embassy that they are taking appropriate security measures and investigating the possible threat thoroughly."
The US warning advised Americans visiting Chinese four and five star hotels to "review their plans carefully", "remain vigilant with regard to their personal security" and "exercise caution."
The warning came ahead of US President George W. Bush's three-day visit to China starting November 19.
