“Terrorist groups like Islamic State and Al-Qaida (both are banned in the Russian Federation), as well as their supporters, intend to attack American citizens wherever they are. Extremists can use conventional or non-conventional weapons to attack American citizens or private interests, ”the document says.
It notes that “sports competitions, political meetings, demonstrations, various celebrations, hotels, schools, clubs, restaurants, parks, religious sites, shopping centers, tourist attractions, airports and other transportation hubs are most at risk.”
The ministry also stressed that US citizens should not be sent to “hot spots” to participate in armed conflicts. The State Department in this regard recalled that "fighting on the side of a terrorist group or providing support to it can be considered as material support for terrorism, which is a serious crime that could lead to imprisonment and a large fine."
