Interesting article...but I am not sure where to post it...

 

Travel warnings have been issued for the UK and updated for Pakistan...but its a general article about travel warnings.

essentially it states that if the US State Department deems it necessary to warn its own staff it will issue a travel warning...

I usually check http://www.voyage.gc.ca/countries_pays/menu-eng.asp (Canadian)

 

For US citizens you can check warnings @

Do the Canadian and U.S. warnings usually mirror each other?

Sometimes;)

You can compare some Countries & the warnings

The US site may have an advisory & not a warning like the Canadian site
