US renews warning on travel to Sudan

Feb 6, 2006 WASHINGTON) — The U.S. State Department reminded Americans on Monday that they shouldn’t travel to Sudan, where it said violence makes travel especially dangerous in the western, southern and eastern parts of the country.

The travel warning essentially repeats information contained in a similar message on Sudan distributed in August 2005.

Terror attacks targeting U.S. and Western interests may include suicide operations, bombings or kidnappings, the warning said.

“U.S. citizens should be aware of the risk of indiscriminate attacks on civilian targets in public places, which include tourist sites and locations where Westerners are known to congregate,” it said.
