Pete van de gohm suggested we might want to get something out on the mideast
situation as well -- a sort of travel advisory. Please follow up with him. I know that for our mideast project people we have been taking care of this in David Haug's old organization. See if there is anything else we need to be doing. Dennis Vegas may be able to provide you with a way to get the info you need.

It emphasizes the 'take precautions' recommendation.

They both are saying that their people in Colombia are on high alert - no unnecessary travel, fully armored vehicles when available, changing time and routes, etc. - as they fully expect FARC and ELN to react violently to the initiation of US aid later this month. They believe that the terrorists will go after easily recognizable but soft targets that are clearly American. That pretty much means American corporations whose presence can be identified and who don't have visible security. The Embassy understands that companies like Coca Cola have removed all expats. I asked if the Embassy officers have been able to move about the cities and they replied "Of course, but they don't do it as much as they did and are more careful now." Cali and Medellin are regarded as more dangerous that Bogota and U.S. official travel to them is at a minimum. Travel in the countryside is absolutely forbidden except by helicopter. Hope this helps. Let's face it, you can operate anywhere as long as you are careful... - Phil __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get Yahoo!
