The U.S. State Department says 18 of 19 U.S. diplomatic posts across the Muslim world that have been closed during the past week due to a terrorist threat will reopen on August 11.
The U.S. Embassy in Sanaa, Yemen, will remain closed amid continuing reports of a potential Al-Qaeda terrorist attack plan.
Most U.S. employees in Sanaa were ordered to leave Yemen on August 6 because of threat information.
The 19 posts in the Middle East and North Africa were closed on August 4.
The U.S. State Department said an intercepted message between Al-Qaeda leaders about plans for a major terrorist attack had triggered the closures.
A separate "credible threat" led to the closure on August 8 of the U.S. Consulate in Lahore, Pakistan.
Officials in Washington say it will remained closed for now.
Consulate staff in Lahore were evacuated to Islamabad on August 9 and are expected to remain there until the consulate reopens.
