From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The US Embassy said terrorists were planning "imminent attacks" in India's capital and has warned Americans there to be vigilant.
Today's alert adding the word "imminent" appeared to be more urgent than an embassy advisory last month that cited increased indications of attacks in New Delhi.
The embassy noted that markets and other areas frequented by Westerners in New Delhi had been targeted in past attacks.
The alert said Americans in India should maintain "a high level of vigilance", remain aware of their surroundings and watch out for unattended packages.
Militants linked to Pakistan-based Islamic groups have been blamed for previous attacks in the Indian capital.
