STATE DEPARTMENT TRAVEL INFORMATION - Lesotho
============================================================
 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE
 Office of the Spokesman

 For Immediate Release

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT - Maseru, Lesotho


On January 18, elements of the Lesotho army launched an attack on 
the Makoanyane military barracks in Maseru.  Sporadic fighting 
between the military factions continues.  There is the possibility 
of stray fire hitting the "Main South" road between Maseru and the 
international airport.

The U.S. Embassy in Maseru has advised Americans to avoid travel to 
Maseru until hostilities have ceased.  Travel on the "Main South" 
road from Manthabiseng bus stop to the Moshoeshoe International 
Airport, as well as areas around military installations or wherever 
soldiers are present, is especially dangerous.  The U.S. Embassy 
also has advised U.S. citizens in Maseru to stay close to home.
