PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE
Office of the Spokesman
This information is current as of today, Mon Nov 14 2005 17:11:09 GMT-0800.
Uganda
November 14, 2005
This Public Announcement is being issued to alert Americans to ongoing security concerns associated with Lords Resistance Army (LRA) attacks in northern Uganda and the potential for more LRA attacks in the future, and to advise against travel to northern Uganda. This Public Announcement expires on February 10, 2006.
The Department of State advises U.S. citizens against travel to northern Uganda following a series of recent LRA attacks that have killed foreign nationals and Ugandan citizens. In recent weeks, elements of the LRA have carried out road ambushes and other types of attacks throughout northern Uganda and southern Sudan. These attacks have resulted in at least six deaths. The most recent attack occurred on November 8, 2005, inside the boundaries of Murchison Falls National Park in Uganda, a popular tourist destination. Most of these attacks occurred during daylight hours, and some occurred in areas that were previously believed to be secure. Many aid organizations working in the area have adopted more stringent security measures as a result of these increased LRA attacks.
The Department of State advises Americans who live in the affected areas to exercise extreme caution and to restrict their activities to city centers. Due to ongoing security concerns, U.S. Government employees must have permission from the Chief of Mission to visit the following districts: Kotido, Moroto, Nakapiripirit, Apac, Lira, Gulu, Kitgum, Pader, Arua, Nebbi, Kisoro, Kanungu, Yumbe, Moyo, Adjumani, and Bundibugyo. These districts include all or part of several national parks.
Updated information on travel and security in Uganda may be obtained from the Department of State by calling 1-888-407-4747 within the United States, or, from overseas, 1-202-501-4444. American citizens should consult the Department of States Consular Information Sheet for Uganda and surrounding countries at http://travel.state.gov.
U.S. citizens who travel to or remain in the area despite this Public Announcement are strongly encouraged to register with the Embassy in Kampala or through the State Departments travel registration website at https://travelregistration.state.gov. By registering, American citizens make it easier for the Embassy to contact them in case of emergency. The U.S. Embassy is located at Plot 1577 Ggaba Road. The phone number is (256) (41) 259 791, ext. 3137, fax (256) (41) 258 451, and email: KampalaUSCitizen@state.gov. For emergencies outside business hours or during any suspension of public services the Embassy Duty Officer can be reached at (256) (41) 259 791.

"APEC Approves Plan to Test Airport Vulnerability to Missiles Attacks"
JIM GOMEZ
Associated Press Writer
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Officials from 21 Asia Pacific economies on Sunday endorsed a U.S. proposal to test whether major airports in their countries could repel a terrorist attack using shoulder-fired missiles, officials said.
The plan was approved only after officials overcame initial objections from China and several other countries that expressed fears tourism and other business could be harmed if their airports were found to be vulnerable, delegates involved on the discussions told The Associated Press.
The airport testing plan was among a range of counterterrorism initiatives considered by senior officials of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation forum, who are meeting to hammer out agenda details for their leaders' annual summit on Friday and Saturday."

I would like to send a warm hello to all the great people out here. You guys are doing a great job. I have missed you a great deal. I have had a very rough year. I've suffered a great deal of loss this year. I know believe the old saying: "What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger". I'm just happy to be back out here with you guys. G-d bless. Stay safe and vigilant.

Hello Mossad1967.
We have missed YOU and glad you are back here.
My prayer for you is healing, strength and peace.
In Jesus' name.
Amen.
Welcome back, Mossad. I'm sorry for the difficult time you've had, and it's good to your name on the screen once more.
Yep, I'm pretty sure that is a guy thing.
And ditto right back to you MamaDearest.
Cindy, for many bachelors, kitchen = storage/workshop.
Smiling...
If the Japanese Americans had videos of suicide bombers (plane type) within 48 hours of an attack in the 1940's, there's no doubt our government would have acted swiftly and efficiently. The same government is now wrapped up in political correctness - unable to function for fear of offending people who don't have the country's best interests at hand or heart. Interrogating prisoners in a Starbucks coffee encounter instead of the customary manner is what the PC crowd is after.
Sorry Cindy, if anyone is watching, they wouldn't dare speak up for fear of offending someone.
Welcome home:) You have been missed.
Very happy to have you back on TM Mossad!
>> "What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger". <<
I worked with a lady who would add to this..., "but Lord, can't you just leave me weak once in while?"
Hope things ease up on you.
