US issues travel advisory to Pakistan citing 'increased terrorist violence'

[czar]

Washington: The US has issued a travel advisory for its citizens asking them to postpone all non-essential travel to Pakistan due to increased "terrorist violence" in the country.

The advisory, the second travel warning issued by the US State Department in less than 45 days, said Pakistan continues to experience significant terrorist violence, including sectarian attacks.

"Targeted attacks against government officials, humanitarian and non-governmental organization employees and law enforcement personnel are common," said the advisory issued on Monday.

"Throughout Pakistan, foreign and indigenous terrorist groups continue to pose a danger to US citizens. Evidence suggests that some victims of terrorist activity have been targeted because they are US citizens. Terrorists and criminal groups have resorted to kidnapping for ransom," it said.

The US State Department referred to a note of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) which asked commercial airline pilots to exercise caution while flying in Pakistan, particularly at low altitude, during the arrival and departure of flights, and when on the ground, due to terror threat.

The FAA said there have been several instances of militant activity that targeted airports and aircraft at low altitudes in Pakistan. In June 2014, militants attacked Jinnah International Airport in Karachi killing 30 people.

I did a reverse Google search of the headline and this is what came up:

Travel warning can be checked directly at state government site. Google or media etc are not a good source for things like this.

OP seems right here.

Travel advisory for Pakistan has been there since a long time, just that it keeps getting updated every 2 months or so.

This is not a new travel advisory, it is the same one that has been in place for a long long time. They just renew it every month.

Only Indians and Indian media is celebrating it as some sort of victory for themselves.

No Sherlock, they didn't renew it, but replaced it.

First you go out of your way to show your apparent "googling" skills to show it's a fake news propagated by Indian media.

Then it's like yawn it's always been there no big deal

This is a very common pattern

Never said it's fake news. Only low-life Indian media is highlighting it even though both parties involved US/Pakistan the media hasn't reported it since it is not a huge deal and the travel advisory has been in place for a long time I think from even before 9/11.
