STATE DEPARTMENT TRAVEL INFORMATION - Bahrain
============================================================
Bahrain - Public Announcement
 March 30, 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 issued the 
following announcement on March 28, 1995:

"Disturbances continue and may be increasing.  There have been acts 
of arson against private and public property, including schools.  
Some electrical substations have been burned, causing temporary 
outages in some areas.  Unfortunately, we cannot predict the 
occurrence or location of future incidents.

The government of Bahrain is aware of our concerns and has been 
taking strong measures to ensure public safety.

Meanwhile,  the U.S. Embassy recommends that all Americans exercise 
caution while moving about the island.  The Embassy advises that 
Americans should continue their normal work routines but discontinue 
evening or weekend social activities.  Continue to avoid large 
crowds and be aware of your surroundings.

If possible, avoid those areas that have been the scene of 
demonstrations, such as the villages of Jidhafs, Bani Jamrah, Sitra, 
Diraz, and Sannabis.  While driving, comply with traffic diversions 
and detours established by the traffic police.  At this time, all 
Americans outside Bahrain should delay unnecessary leisure travel to 
Bahrain.

American citizens seeking more information on conditions in Bahrain 
should contact the U.S. Embassy in Manama upon arrival at 273-300, 
extension 1103".
