Niger: Kidnapping Threat Prompts U.S. State Department Warning
By Larry Habegger | Permalink |The U.S. State Department warned against travel to the north of the country because of kidnapping threats against Westerners. A terrorist group linked to al-Qaida abducted a French national April 20 west of Agadez, and heavily armed men tried to kidnap U.S. embassy officials in November 2009 in Tahoua. The U.S. Embassy in Niamey considers the threats to be ongoing and restricts the travel of U.S. government personnel and official visitors north of the capital. Officials urge those who choose to travel to these northern areas to be extremely cautious.
