US Warns Travelers After bin Laden Death

   VOA News  May 02, 2011

   The U.S. State Department is warning Americans living or traveling
   abroad to be extra vigilant following the killing of Osama bin Laden.
   A worldwide travel alert, issued Monday, says the killing could trigger
   "anti-American violence" in some areas. It says U.S. citizens who find
   themselves in such areas should limit travel outside of their homes and
   hotels and avoid mass gatherings and demonstrations.
   The alert says Americans abroad should monitor the local news and
   maintain contact with the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.
   The State Department says embassies and consulates will make every
   effort to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens, if needed.
   However, it notes that U.S. government facilities worldwide are at a
   heightened state of alert, and says these facilities may temporarily
   close or suspend public service to assess their security needs.
