Express kidnappings have increased in the past year, with incidents involving Americans in several cities. In many cases the victims accepted assistance to find or share a taxi and then were held at knife point until they surrendered their cash and valuables. Some victims were assaulted this way, then driven to ATMs to withdraw cash. Others reported being beaten in taxis, especially around the international airport. Travelers should use only officially registered taxis or radio-dispatched cabs available at the airport and larger hotels.
