STATE DEPARTMENT TRAVEL INFORMATION - Foreign Terrorist List
============================================================
Publication of List of Foreign Terrorist Organizations - Public
Announcement
October 8, 1997
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE
Office of the Spokesman
The Secretary of State has designated as foreign terrorist
organizations thirty organizations that engage in terrorist activity
that threatens the security of United States nationals or the
national security of the United States, pursuant to the
Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (P.L.
104-132). Designation as a foreign terrorist organization carries
legal consequences for persons who aid these organizations, for the
organizations funds, and for representatives and members who seek
to enter the United States. The list of foreign terrorist
organizations was published in the Federal Register on October 8,
1997.
The Department of State has no specific information regarding
threats to U.S. citizens at this time as a result of the designation
of foreign terrorist organizations, but believes some of the groups
may consider changing their attitude toward targeting U.S. interests
in reaction to their designation. American citizens traveling
abroad should always seek to minimize their risks by being aware of
their surroundings and exercising caution as to their activities.
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.
This Public Announcement expires on January 8, 1998.
