Djibouti hosts U.S. and French military bases and is an ally
in the U.S.-led fight against militant Islam.
Somali al Qaeda-linked militants have previously attacked
Djibouti, saying it was to punish the east African state for
contributing to an African Union force in Somalia.
"Attacks may target official government facilities, including
embassies and military installations, as well as soft targets
such as restaurants, clubs, hotels and other commercial
entities," the U.S. advisory said.
"While Djiboutian officials continue the pursuit of those
responsible for previous terrorist attacks, many of those
involved remain at large and still operate in the region," said
the advisory, released on Tuesday.
In May, two people were killed in grenade blasts in Djibouti
city at a busy restaurant popular with Westerners. Somalia's al
Shabaab Islamist rebel group claimed responsibility.
