US issues worldwide travel warning to Americans

Press Trust of India

Washington, August 3, 2005



The US State Department has issued an updated worldwide caution on terrorism, warning Americans about the threat of extremist violence against US citizens and interests abroad.

The warning issued on Tuesday did not list countries but cited "current information" as indicating that Al-Qaeda and affiliated terrorist groups are planning attacks against US interests in "multiple regions, including Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East."

"US citizens are strongly encouraged to maintain a high level of vigilance, be aware of local events, and take the appropriate steps to bolster their personal security," the statement said.

The department's official caution supersedes an alert issued in March which said attacks against private and official targets could come in the form of assassinations, kidnappings, hijackings or bombings.

The Department cited as cause for concern the spill over from the US intervention in Iraq in and outside the Middle East, as well as other recent militant attacks in Europe.

"Ongoing events in Iraq have resulted in demonstrations and associated violence in several countries; such events are likely to continue for the foreseeable future," it said.
