WASHINGTON: The US Statement Department on Tuesday warned US citizens to defer non-essential travel to Pakistan due to dangers posed by foreign and local militants throughout the country.
“The US Embassy in Islamabad and the US Consulate General in Karachi continue to provide consular services for all US citizens in Pakistan. The US Consulate General in Peshawar no longer offers consular services and the US Consulate General in Lahore remains temporarily closed for public services,” said a statement.
Travel warnings have also been issued for US citizens in Saudi Arabia and Algeria.
