The US has advised its citizens to reconsider their travel to Pakistan
due to terrorism and asked them not to travel to Balochistan, Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) provinces and "Azad Kashmir" -- identified as the
"most dangerous" areas.
In the travel advisory issued on Monday,
the US has put Pakistan (in general) in "Level 3" category, and
Balochistan, KPK provinces, including the former Federally Administered
Tribal Areas (FATA), and "Azad Kashmir" in the most dangerous "Level 4"
category.
Warning the US citizens against travelling to the
"Azad Kashmir", the advisory said, "Militant groups are known to operate
in the area. The threat of armed conflict between India and Pakistan
remains. Indian and Pakistan military forces periodically exchange gun
and artillery fire across the Line of Control."
"Terrorist
attacks continue to happen across Pakistan, with most occurring in
Balochistan and KPK. Large-scale terrorist attacks have resulted in
hundreds of casualties," it stated.
"Terrorists may attack with
little or no warning, targeting transport hubs, markets, shopping malls,
military installations, airports, universities, tourist locations,
schools, hospitals, places of worship and government facilities.
Terrorists have targeted US diplomats and diplomatic facilities in the
past and information suggests they continue to do so," stated the
advisory.
It said the US government "has limited ability to
provide emergency services to US citizens in Pakistan due to the
security environment".
Due to risks to civil aviation operating
within or near Pakistan, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has
issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) and/or a Special Federal Aviation
Regulation (SFAR), it said.
