Has the Department told American citizens to leave the Middle East because of these biological threats? Have any warden messages been prepared for a possible attack?
The Department of State has issued a Worldwide Caution Public Announcement and a Middle East and North Africa Update that alerts American citizens to the continuing threat of terrorist actions that may target private Americans. The Department of State works with posts to disseminate threat information through its warden network when specific information is available. At present, there is no specific information to indicate that there is a likelihood of use of anthrax or smallpox as a weapon in the immediate future. Also, a Chemical-Biological Agent Fact Sheet, which includes information on anthrax and smallpox, is available on the Consular Affairs website at: http://travel.state.gov.
