The US Embassy in Sri Lanka today reminded US citizens to exercise caution when travelling to Sri Lanka during the holiday season.

The Embassy re-tweeted its security alert for US citizens which said, “In acknowledgement of upcoming holidays, the US Embassy reminds American citizens of the current Level 2 Travel Advisory (Exercise Increased Caution).”

“Terrorists may attack with little or no warning, targeting tourist locations, transportation hubs, markets, shopping malls, government facilities, hotels, clubs, restaurants, places of worship, parks, major sporting and cultural events, educational institutions, airports, hospitals, and other public areas,” it said.

The security alert warned citizens to be aware of their surroundings when travelling to tourist locations and crowded public venues. “Follow the instructions of local authorities,” it said.

    How about Tamil and Indian? Tamil come million with bogus refuges status. And Tamil and Indian went on piggy back of British in millions to other countries. Tamil Tigers are already claiming Canada and Europe as their Tamil Nidus. Do think only Tamil and Indian can come to US looking for good life. Well, Tamil are not coming to western countries just for good life, they are coming specially for raising fund for military adventures dreaming to capture Sri lanka.

    Every time when there is no favoritism for Israel, U.S or Britain , this statement is always made. It is typical of Western countries.
