Terror warning follows US decision to sanction ISIS facilitation networks

The US Government’s warning that it had received information that terrorists could be planning an attack targeting the Sandton district of Johannesburg, follows a decision in March by the US Treasury to sanction four ISIS and ISIS-Mozambique financial facilitators in the country. The US Embassy statement in Pretoria says they have no additional information regarding the timing, method, or target of the potential attack on October 29th, this coming Saturday.
