Although the Department of State has no specific information regarding threats to U.S. citizens, we cannot discount the possibility of random acts of anti-American violence. U.S. diplomatic posts are taking appropriate security precautions. U.S. citizens planning to travel abroad should consult the Department of State's country-specific Travel Warnings, Consular Information Sheets and regional travel brochures, and refer to the Department's advisories on security awareness overseas. ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- The "travel-advisories@stolaf.edu" mailing list is the official Internet and BITNET distribution point for the U.S. State Department Travel Warnings and Consular Information Sheets.
