NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Don’t watch the World Cup at bars, restaurants or large parties, the Kenyan government warned its citizens on Friday. Instead, officials suggested, watch the tournament “from the comfort of” home.

The warning to avoid crowds and “be cautious and vigilant” during screenings of World Cup matches comes during a heightened threat of terrorism in Kenya. Al-Shabab Islamic extremists from Somalia four years ago bombed two World Cup viewing locations in neighboring Kampala, Uganda, killing more than 70 people.
