Kidnappings and ransom notes, too.

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

For me it only applies to my study abroad scholarships which if Egypt was on the list I'd be disqualified.

For you follow the link:

January 27, 2009

The State Department warns U.S. citizens of the risks of travel to the southern Philippine islands of Mindanao and the Sulu Archipelago and urges extreme caution if traveling there. This Travel Warning replaces the Travel Warning dated February 13, 2008, and updates information on continuing threats due to terrorist and insurgent activities.

Travelers should exercise extreme caution if traveling in the central and western portions of the island of Mindanao, as well as in the islands of the Sulu Archipelago. Regional terrorist groups have carried out bombings resulting in injuries and death. Since August 2008, there have been sporadic clashes between lawless groups and the Philippine Armed Forces in the Mindanao provinces of North Cotabato, Lanao del Sur and Lanao del Norte, as well as the Sulu Archipelago. Kidnap for ransom gangs are active and have targeted foreigners. U.S. Government employees must seek special permission for travel to Mindanao or the Sulu Archipelago. Travelers to these areas should remain vigilant and avoid congregating in public areas. Some foreigners who reside in or visit Mindanao and the Sulu Archipelago hire their own security.

The Department of State remains concerned about the continuing threat of terrorist actions and violence against Americans and interests throughout the world. The Worldwide Caution, http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/pa/pa_1161.html, reminds Americans that terrorism can occur anywhere.

The Department strongly encourages Americans in the Philippines to register with the Consular Section of the U.S. Embassy in Manila through the State Department's travel registration website, https://travelregistration.state.gov. The U.S. Embassy is located at: 1201 Roxas Boulevard, Manila, Philippines, tel. 63-2-301-2000. The American Citizen Services (ACS) section's fax number is 63-2-301-2017 and the ACS web page is at http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwh3004.html.

For information on general crime and security issues, U.S. citizens should also consult the Department of State's Country Specific Information for the Philippines and the Worldwide Caution, located at http://travel.state.gov/. American citizens may also obtain up-to-date information on security conditions by calling 1-888-407-4747 from the United States and Canada, or 202-501-4444 from overseas.

I would worry more about D.C., Oakland, and South Central, more than most of the countries on that list! But then, I was not wandering around Manila alone late at night, either!

Yeah.... Yemen is just a walk in the park... :wacko:

All these places depend on where you are, who you are with and what you are doing. I don't go to certain parts of NYC at certain times. I would feel safe in 85% of those countries if I knew the dangers of the locale. Some are just plain silly vacation spots.

Albania is off the list!!

Thankfully there's random men walking around with AK-47's in Albania. Makes me feel safe.

My husband never lets me leave the house alone because he thinks I will be kidnapped and killed.

The irony being I live in Crown Heights, Brooklyn.
