While we have no specific information of a threat, the potential exists for retaliation by Yousef's sympathizers against American interests. United States Government installations abroad have been instructed to review their security precautions. American citizens traveling abroad should pay close attention to their personal security practices in light of the potential threat. This replaces the Public Announcement of November 12, 1997 and expires April 7, 1998. ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- 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.
