US: Reconsider Travel to Sri Lanka

by Reuters

   WASHINGTON --

   The U.S. State Department on Friday said American citizens should
   reconsider travel to Sri Lanka because of the threat of terrorism after
   more than 250 people were killed in suicide bombings Sunday.

   In a statement, the department also said it had ordered the departure
   of all school-age family members of U.S. government employees.

   "Terrorist groups continue plotting possible attacks in Sri Lanka," it
   said.
