US warns of attacks on Uganda-Sudan planes

After an attempted attack on December 25, 2009, the United States has taken extra precautions for US travellers. These travelers were also under more of a severe threat traveling between Juba in Sudan and the Ugandan capital, Kampala. There will be more security checks due to the bomb in the man's,Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's, underpants on the December 25th scare. This threat has been known for sometime and is suspicious, but Sudan as well as 14 other countries are where US travelers will be subject to more intense searches and measures. No one knows how severe these extremists are but this threat has been going on for sometime and there is no need to take chances, especially with the recent attempt on the 25th.
