STATE DEPARTMENT TRAVEL INFORMATION - Foreign Terrorist List ============================================================ Publication of List of Foreign Terrorist Organizations - Public Announcement October 8, 1997 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE Office of the Spokesman The Secretary of State has designated as foreign terrorist organizations thirty organizations that engage in terrorist activity that threatens the security of United States nationals or the national security of the United States, pursuant to the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (P.L. 104-132). Designation as a foreign terrorist organization carries legal consequences for persons who aid these organizations, for the organizations funds, and for representatives and members who seek to enter the United States. The list of foreign terrorist organizations was published in the Federal Register on October 8, 1997. The Department of State has no specific information regarding threats to U.S. citizens at this time as a result of the designation of foreign terrorist organizations, but believes some of the groups may consider changing their attitude toward targeting U.S. interests in reaction to their designation. American citizens traveling abroad should always seek to minimize their risks by being aware of their surroundings and exercising caution as to their activities. U.S. citizens planning to travel abroad should consult the Department of State's country-specific Travel Warnings, Consular Information Sheets, and regional travel brochures. This Public Announcement expires on January 8, 1998. ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- The "travel-advisories@stolaf.edu" mailing list is the official Internet and BITNET distribution point for the U.S. State Department Travel Warnings and Consular Information Sheets.
