US warns nationals against travelling to Libya

The US Embassy in Libya warned on Sunday nationals against travelling to the unrest-hit Libya, saying situation there remains unstable and unpredictable.

"Government authorities lack control over much of the country, and local police and security services may have limited to no capacity to respond to emergencies or requests for assistance," the embassy said in a statement posted on its website. 

"Crime levels remain high, including the threat of kidnapping, and various groups have called for attacks against U.S. citizens and U.S. interests in Libya. Hotels frequented by westerners have been attacked by armed groups and terrorists. Violent extremist activity in Libya remains high. Foreigners may be targeted by violent extremist groups seeking to injure, kidnap or kill anyone associated with the United States."
