AGAIN, US issues travel alert for Pakistan

February 03, 2012 11:20

US authorities have issued a travel alert, warning its citizens about the risks in travelling to Pakistan, in view of the tension in its ties with Pakistan, following the NATO raid that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers.

Replacing its previous travel warning dated April 8, 2011, the State Department has asked its citizens to avoid protests and large gatherings which are happening in Pakistan after the November 26 cross-border fire.

"There have been widespread demonstrations and large political rallies condemning drone strikes and Pakistan's ongoing energy crisis. These protests are likely to continue. US citizens in Pakistan are strongly urged to avoid protests and large gatherings," said the alert.
