U.S. Department of State Issues Europe Travel Alert
On Oct. 3, the State Department alerted U.S. citizens to the potential for terrorist attacks in Europe. Current information suggests that al-Qa’ida and affiliated organizations continue to plan terrorist attacks. European governments have taken action to guard against a terrorist attack and some have spoken publicly about the heightened threat conditions. This Travel Alert expires on Jan. 31, 2011. The JLab Travel Services office registers all business travelers with the Consular Section of the U.S. Embassy when DOE foreign travel approval is requested. If you are traveling to Europe on personal leave, you should register through the State Department's travel registration website. Travelers may obtain up-to-date information on security conditions at the Travel website or by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll-free in the U.S. and Canada, or on a regular toll line at 1-202-501-4444 from elsewhere in the world. For further information on safety tips while traveling abroad, U.S. citizens should also consult the U.S. Department of State website.
