Americans Headed for High-Risk Nation Urged to Prepare Wills, Leave DNA Samples Ahead of Time
Officials warn of widespread kidnapping, terrorism and landmines, and say the United States cannot provide emergency services to Americans in Libya.
- The State Department issued its strongest Level 4 'Do Not Travel' advisory for Libya on Friday, warning Americans against visiting the country due to crime, terrorism, kidnapping, and landmines.
- "Kidnapping is widespread, and victims have included U.S. citizens," officials warn, while terrorist attacks occur without warning and "There is currently no U.S. Embassy in Libya" to provide assistance.
- Travelers are advised to "Prepare a will and end-of-life instructions" and "Leave DNA samples with your medical provider" for identification purposes, as landmines pose dangers throughout the North African country.
- Because emergency services remain unavailable to Americans in the country, the State Department recommends establishing a "proof of life protocol" with loved ones in case a traveler is taken hostage.
- The State Department recently urged Americans to reconsider travel to Israel due to terrorism, with Level 4 warnings specifically for areas near the Gaza Strip and the Israel-Egypt border.
