The US embassy in the Congo said it received "credible and accurate information on a possible terrorist threat against US government facilities in Kinshasa".

A security alert for citizens does not give more details but indicates that the embassy will be closed to the public on Monday.

The Congo, unlike several African countries, is not a victim of extremist attacks, although some observers have expressed concern about possible links with the rebel group of Allied Democratic Forces active in the north. east of the country.

The vast country of Central Africa is facing a historic election in a month, with President Joseph Kabila having announced his intention to withdraw. The United States and other members of the international community have annoyed the Congolese government by raising concerns about how the elections will be conducted.
