Possibility of Increased Threat in Afghanistan
On January 11, 2007, coalition military forces conducted a raid on a building in Irbil, Iraq that resulted in the detainment of five Iranian nationals. This development may prompt unrest and anti-American demonstrations in Afghanistan. We wish to remind American citizens that even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and possibly escalate into violence. American citizens are therefore urged to avoid the area of demonstrations and to exercise caution if within the vicinity of any demonstrations. American 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.
American citizens may contact the Consular Section via mobile at 070-201-908 for further information or in case of an after-hours emergency.
For the latest security information, Americans traveling abroad should regularly monitor the Department’s Internet web site at:
http://travel.state.gov where the current Worldwide Caution Public Announcement, Travel Warnings and other Public Announcements can be found. Updated information may also be obtained by visiting the American Embassy in Kabul’s website
http://usembassy.state.gov/afghanistan/ or by contacting the American Embassy in Kabul at usconsulkabul@state.gov. In addition to information on the Internet, U.S. travelers may obtain up-to-date information on security conditions by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll-free in the U.S. or outside the U.S. and Canada on a regular toll line at 1-202-501-4444. These numbers are available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday (except U.S. Federal holidays).
Sincerely,
Consular Section
U.S. Embassy
Kabul, Afghanistan
