The United States has warned American nationals against travelling to Lahore due to threat of a 'violent attack'. "The United States Consulate General in Lahore has been made aware of a potential for a violent attack in the Lahore area. The United States citizens are urged to postpone travel to government facilities for the immediate future," the US Department of State said in a security message.
"US citizens are reminded that there is an active Travel Warning for Pakistan issued on October 7, 2016. US citizens are urged to defer all non-essential travel to Pakistan".
"The Mission reminds those US citizens considering travel to or remaining in Pakistan despite this warning to keep a trusted friend informed of your movements in country and maintains vigilant situational awareness and keeps a low profile".
"The US citizens should avoid large crowds, locations frequented by Westerners, and hotels that do not apply stringent security measures. Vary your times and routes when travelling in Pakistan".
"Verify that travel documents, visas, and residency documents remain valid and accessible at all times," the statement said.
It said, "Consular services in Pakistan are available in Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad. The consulate in Peshawar is not providing consular services at this time".
