STATE DEPARTMENT TRAVEL INFORMATION - Bahrain
============================================================
Bahrain - Public Announcement
 February 2, 1995

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE
 Office of the Spokesman

For Immediate Release

As a result of continuing demonstrations and attacks against 
property in and around Manama, the U.S. Embassy in Manama advises 
American citizens to avoid large public gatherings and exercise 
caution in public areas.  Although the Embassy has received no 
indication that American citizens have been deliberately targeted, 
American-owned property, such as vehicles, has been damaged in some 
of the acts of arson and vandalism which demonstrators have recently 
directed against public and private property.

The U.S. Embassy advises that conservative dress may be appropriate 
for Americans in light of upcoming Ramadan observances during the 
month of February.  The Embassy further recommends that, if 
possible, Americans avoid densely populated residential areas, 
especially after dark.  While driving, Americans should comply with 
traffic diversions and detours established by Bahraini traffic 
police.  For additional information on travel to and through 
Bahrain, please consult the Consular Information Sheet for Bahrain.
