"The State Department issued an updated worldwide caution on terrorism yesterday, warning Americans about the threat of extremist violence against U.S. citizens and interests abroad.

The warning did not list countries, nor did department officials offer any additional specifics about threats. The statement said “current information” indicates that al Qaeda and affiliated terrorist groups are planning attacks against U.S. interests in “multiple regions, including Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East.”

The department’s official caution, which supersedes an alert issued in March, said attacks against private and official targets could come in the form of assassinations, kidnappings, hijackings or bombings.

The targets could include places where Americans meet or visit, such as residential areas, hotels and restaurants, as well as places of worship, schools, clubs, business offices and public areas, the caution said. It also noted that “demonstrations and rioting” can occur with little or no warning…"

I’m pretty sure if you go to the state department’s website you can get a current report regarding the security of other countries.

Oh come on, I guy I work with has a friend who is looking for power plant workers and is ready to pay almost $1000 per day. Just need a passport, suntan lotion, and be ready to travel to Iraq.

Your own body armor and side-arm would also be helpful.

My son just got back from there. He was working for General Dynamics in telecommunications. They furnished him military uniforms with contractor instead of US Army over the pocket, helmet, flak jacket, and a 40 pound bullet proof vest. They advised him that if he took or acquired a weapon that he would no longer be considered a non-combatant…as if the terrorists know or care what a non-combatant is. And he was making nowhere near $1,000 a day. I just thank God that his is safely back and has found another job.
