US retracts terrorist warning in China
The United States retracted Friday a warning of possible terrorist attacks against US interests in China following a joint investigation with Chinese authorities on the potential threat.
"After further investigation and coordination with the Chinese authorities, the United States government has determined that the information provided on June 9, 2006 no longer warrants a heightened level of concern," a notice on the embassy website said.
