HONG KONG (AP) - The U.S. government is warning of a possible terrorist threat to American facilities in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou. The warning was sent out by the U.S. Consulate in Guangzhou. It didn't give any information about the source of the threat or other details.

``The United States government has received credible information that a terrorist threat may exist against official U.S. government facilities in Guangzhou,'' said the warning, which was dated Sunday.

``This threat also may exist for places where Americans are known to congregate or visit, including clubs, restaurants, places of worship, schools or outdoor recreation events,'' the warning said.

An official at the U.S. Consulate General in Guangzhou said Chinese authorities had been informed about the possible threat and that security had been increased at the consulate.

2. But wasn't it interesting

that the prior threat was retracted?

The Chinese Ministry of Public Security informed the U.S. Embassy in Beijing on November 10th that Chinese security authorities have determined that the source of a reported threat against four and five star hotels in China is not credible. The United States Government is not aware of any other information of any threat against hotels in China, including Hong Kong. Our warden message of November 9th on threats to hotels is therefore retracted.
