<p>The United States&nbsp;stated that terrorist groups are active in Pakistan and continue plotting attacks.

<p>The advisory said: "Terrorists may attack with little or no warning, targeting transportation hubs, markets, shopping malls, military installations, airports, universities, tourist locations, schools, hospitals, places of worship, and government facilities.
