However, Abu Marzook remains in detention in the U.S., and has the right to challenge the decision. If he does, this will result in further judicial proceedings which could be lengthy. Although the Department of State has no specific information regarding threats to U.S. citizens or interests overseas, 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 of State'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.
