US govt. advises all Americans to leave Georgia
2008-08-12
The State Department on Tuesday advised all U.S. citizens to leave Georgia due to Russia's continued bombings of civilian and military targets in the country.

The department also said in a travel alert that U.S. citizens should refrain from travel to Georgia if there is no special need to do so. "In light of the continued aerial bombings of civilian and military targets in several areas of the country, the Department of State warns U.S. citizens to defer non-essential travel to Georgia and recommends that all U.S. citizens depart Georgia," it said.

The alert came after Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and French President Nicolas Sarkozy agreed Tuesday that both Russian and Georgian troops will withdraw to their pre-conflict positions to halt the fighting in the breakaway Georgian province of South Ossetia.
