LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) - The United States consulate in Lagos reopened Monday after a phoned-in terrorist threat prompted it to close down along with several other diplomatic missions, a U.S. official said.
U.S. embassy spokesman Rudolph Stewart, speaking from the capital Abuja, said Nigerian authorities had given "outstanding assistance and cooperation" in responding to the threat.
Authorities in Nigeria have declined to give any details on what the fears were, but a spokeswoman for Germany-based U.S. European Command — which also covers Africa — has said a called-in terrorist threat triggered the closure.
