STATE DEPARTMENT TRAVEL INFORMATION - Worldwide Caution ============================================================ Worldwide Caution - Public Announcement November 19, 1997 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE Office of the Spokesman In light of events unfolding throughout the world, U.S. citizens traveling or residing abroad are advised to exercise greater than usual caution. Recently there have been numerous incidents and developments that have the cumulative potential of impacting the security of U.S. citizens, businesses and military interests abroad, including the recent convictions of Mir Aimal Kasi and Ramzi Yousef, the murders of four businessmen in Karachi, Pakistan, the terrorist attack on tourists in Luxor, Egypt, and the general situation in the Middle East. While at this time we know of no specific threats to U.S. citizens or interests overseas in relation to the above incidents, we cannot discount the possibility of random acts of anti-American violence, such as drive-by shootings, kidnappings, or bombings. U.S. diplomatic posts worldwide are taking appropriate security precautions. U.S. citizens planning to travel abroad should consult the Department of State's country-specific Public Announcements, Travel Warnings, Consular Information Sheets and regional travel brochures, and refer to the Department's advisories on security awareness overseas. American citizens residing or traveling abroad are encouraged to contact the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate for up-to-date information on security conditions. This Public Announcement expires December 18, 1997. ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- 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.
