CYPRUS: TERRORIST THREATS
WE HAVE RECENTLY RECEIVED INFORMATION FROM SEVERAL SOURCES ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF TERRORIST ATTACKS IN CYPRUS.
WHILE THESE THREATS ARE BEING ASSESSED, THE U.S. EMBASSY FOLLOWED ROUTINE PROCEDURE AND REQUESTED AND RECEIVED TEMPORARY INCREASES IN THE SECURITY PRESENCE PROVIDED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF CYPRUS.
ALTHOUGH WE HAVE NO INFORMATION ON A SPECIFIC TERRORIST THREAT TO TRAVELERS TO CYPRUS AND AMERICANS RESIDENT THERE AT THIS TIME, THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THESE UNSPECIFIED THREATS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED. SHOULD SPECIFIC AND CREDIBLE INFORMATION ON ANY THREAT TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC BE RECEIVED, THE DEPARTMENT WILL, OF COURSE, PROVIDE SUCH INFORMATION TO TRAVELERS AND OTHER CONCERNED PARTIES.
