The U.S. Saturday renewed its travel warning for Lebanon, voicing concern over the recent spate of car bombings in the country.

 

“As the warning states, the Department [of State] is concerned about recent security-related incidents in the country and reiterates its long-standing advice that U.S. citizens avoid all travel to Lebanon, and carefully consider and accept risks if they do,” according to a U.S. embassy statement.

 

It also asked its citizens who do travel to the country to sign up for the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program to receive the latest security updates and to follow up on Embassy news through its official social media outlets.

 

“The Embassy continues to work with the people and institutions of Lebanon to help ensure stability,” it added. [Link
