WORLDWIDE
Terrorist
Threat, June 27, 2000 – The U.S. Department of State reminds
American citizens around the world of the need to remain vigilant with
regard to their personal security. From time to time, the Department receives
unconfirmed reports that prompt concern about the safety and security
of U.S. Government personnel and private American citizens abroad. The
possibility remains that terrorists and other groups or individuals may
take actions against Americans and American interests. These groups and
individuals do not distinguish between U.S. Government and civilian targets.
Periods on or around significant dates, such as the August 7 anniversary
of the bombings of the U.S. Embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam,
Tanzania, may be chosen as opportunities for further terrorist acts. Security
therefore continues to be a prime concern at U.S. Government facilities
worldwide. U.S. citizens traveling or residing abroad are urged to review
their own personal security practices, to be attentive to their surroundings
and to exercise caution. American citizens traveling or residing abroad
should regularly monitor the U.S. State
Department's web site to review the Consular Information Sheets, Public
Announcements, Travel Warnings and regional brochures for up-to-date information
on security conditions overseas.
