STATE DEPARTMENT ISSUES GLOBAL TRAVEL ALERT

The Department of State is issuing this Travel Alert to caution U.S. citizens of the potential for anti-U.S. demonstrations in many countries in response to stated plans by a church in Florida to burn Qurans on the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Demonstrations, some violent, have already taken place in several countries, including Afghanistan and Indonesia, in response to media reports of the church's plans. The potential for further protests and demonstrations, some of which may turn violent, remains high. U.S. citizens are urged to pay attention to local reaction to the situation and to avoid areas where demonstrations may take place. This Travel Alert expires on Sept. 30, 2010.
