WASHINGTON -- The State Department alerted Americans on Thursday to a possible terrorist threat in Turkey.
The department said it had received unconfirmed and fragmentary information that suggested unknown terrorists might be planning to conduct a terrorist incident in southeast Turkey.
The target, the department said, would be official U.S. government facilities or personnel.
In a statement, it warned U.S. citizens to be particularly cautious if they traveled in or out of the Gaziantep airport, which is being used while the airport at Adana is under repair.
The Turkish government has taken ``prudent measures'' to deal with the possible threat, the department said.
The statement referred to Turkey as a country that fully cooperates with the United States in the war on terrorism.
