| U.S. Warns Citizens to Leave Egypt |
| 2013-08-16 |
| [An Nahar] The United States warned its citizens on Thursday not to travel to Egypt and called on those already there to leave. The travel warning was issued one day after a brutal crackdown on street protests in Cairo ordered by Egypt's military-backed government left more than 500 people dead. Any Americans who remain in Egypt despite the warning were urged to obey all local curfews in place and to avoid street demonstrations. "Political unrest ... shows little sign of abating," the State Department statement said. The warning said that foreigners caught up in the violence could become targets for "harassment or worse" and noted that a U.S. citizen was killed during a demonstration in Alexandria in June. |
