STATE DEPARTMENT TRAVEL INFORMATION - Worldwide Caution - Iraq
============================================================
Worldwide Caution - Iraq - Public Announcement
December 16, 1998
In light of the military operations against Iraq and the potential
for retaliatory action, the Department of State urges U.S. citizens
traveling or residing abroad to review their security practices, to
remain alert to the changing situation, and to exercise much greater
caution than usual. While the U.S. Government has no specific
information about threats to American citizens at this time, the
potential for retaliatory acts against U.S. citizens exists.
American citizens traveling or residing abroad are reminded to
maintain a high level of vigilance and to take appropriate measures
to protect their personal security. In addition, American citizens
should maintain a low profile, vary routes and times for all travel,
and treat mail from unfamiliar sources with suspicion.
American citizens traveling or residing abroad should contact the
nearest U.S. embassy or consulate by telephone or fax for up-to-date
information on security conditions. Current information on
operations of U.S. embassies and consulates is also available on the
Internet at http://travel.state.gov. In addition, U.S. citizens
planning to travel abroad should consult the Department of State
Public Announcements, Travel Warnings, Consular Information Sheets,
and regional brochures.
This Public Announcement supplements the November 12, 1998
Worldwide Caution Public Announcement and the November 3 Public
Announcement on Iraq and expires on March 15, 1999.
