I'm concerned too and can't imagine having bombs fall all around me wondering if the next bomb will be on my hotel.
The State Department should have had something on their web site posting updates of information and when a rescue would be attempted and as of yesterday, they hadn't even done that. Since they're nearly impossible to reach by phone, it's a good thing Rebel had a retired ambassador friend who helped him out.
I have a feeling that there are a lot of issues surrounding this rescue that the State Dept is dealing with of which we have no idea. IIRC, many of the people demanding rescue, though Americans, are not supportive of America. I think the US needs to take a lot of care with this--not to mention the logistics of it. OTOH, if I was there like RY2, I wouldn't care much of anything except to get my behind out--in one piece.
Maybe they should put up an itinerary for everyone to see that would allow everyone to plan their next moves in advance. Maps would be helpful.
