British government recommends UK nationals in Qatar shelter in place

June 23 (Reuters) - The British government on Monday issued a warning recommending that U.K. citizens in Qatar shelter in place until further notice.

The recommendation, which was issued out of "an abundance of caution" it said, and included no details, follows a similar warning the U.S. government issued to its citizens in the Gulf Arab State.

Qatar's foreign ministry spokesperson earlier said that the security situation in the country remained stable.
