The State Department is warning Americans abroad to stay vigilant and limit their travel outside homes and hotels after the killing of Al Queda leader Osama bin Laden by U.S. forces in Pakistan.
The announcement reads in part:
"The U.S. Department of State alerts U.S. citizens traveling and residing abroad to the enhanced potential for anti-American violence given recent counterterrorism activity in Pakistan. Given the uncertainty and volatility of the current situation, U.S. citizens in areas where recent events could cause anti-American violence are strongly urged to limit their travel outside of their homes and hotels and avoid mass gatherings and demonstrations. U.S. citizens should stay current with media coverage of local events and be aware of their surroundings at all times."
