Why you should check the State Dept web site...




October 10th warning stated that facilities associated with the US or locations in which US citizens and other foreign nationals are likely to be present could be targeted...attacks could include suicide car bombings.... No information is provided about the identity of the possible attackers, but candidates include the various Kashmiri-based militant groups that were implicated in bomb attacks at a central market in Mumbai in 2003 and an assault on parliament buildings in Delhi in 2001....

Message from my travel department....letting me know that the state dept has issued a warning about travel to India...after checking that I was still "beating"

Thanks!.... I told them....since I am on the ground here I will send you updated coverage on what is happening.....and will try to avoid crowded places (like this is possible in a country with 1 billion people) and places where international travelers hang out(um like any nice hotel in India?????)

NOTE TO SELF: Check State Dept web site EVERY DAY before you leave and while you are in country for updates.
