UAE President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan has rejected recent warnings by foreign governments about the threat of terrorist attacks in the United Arab Emirates.
Sheikh Khalifa said the warnings issued by the UK and US less than two weeks ago were “part of custom followed by them in dealing with any piece of information or rumour that reach them”, quoted UAE daily the National on Saturday, citing an interview with Lebanese newspaper Al-Nahar.
The UK’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) on June 14 upgraded its UAE terrorism threat level from “general” to “high”, but said it was not advising people to change their travel plans.
