WASHINGTON: The US State Department on Friday raised the level of its travel warning for Sri Lanka, urging citizens to reconsider visiting the island in the wake of a devastating series of suicide bombings that killed more than 250 people.
The department has “ordered the departure of all school-age family members of US government employees in kindergarten through 12th grade,” it said in a statement, adding that it had also authorized non-emergency personnel to leave.
“Terrorist groups continue plotting possible attacks in Sri Lanka,” it said.
