WASHINGTON (AP) — The State Department says U.S. citizens in Egypt
should consider leaving the country as soon as they can because of the
spreading unrest there.
The department says demonstrations against the government of
President Hosni Mubarak have not targeted Westerners, but Americans
should take precautions for their own security.
The U.S. government is also allowing nonessential diplomats and the
families of all embassy workers to leave Egypt at Washington’s expense.
The step builds on a travel warning from Friday urging Americans to
avoid traveling to Egypt because of the unrest.
Americans are advised to remain in their homes or hotels until the situation stabilizes.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will address the situation in Egypt when she appears on five morning news shows Sunday
