Pakistan Travel Warning August 2011

The presence of al-Qaida, Taliban elements, and indigenous militant sectarian groups poses a potential danger to U.S. citizens throughout Pakistan. Terrorists and their sympathizers regularly attack civilian, government, and foreign targets, particularly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province. The Government of Pakistan has heightened security measures, particularly in the major cities. Threat reporting indicates terrorist groups continue to seek opportunities to attack locations where U.S. citizens and Westerners are known to congregate or visit, such as shopping areas, hotels, clubs and restaurants, places of worship, schools, or outdoor recreation events. Terrorists have disguised themselves as Pakistani security personnel to gain access to targeted areas. Some media reports have recently falsely identified U.S. diplomats - and to a lesser extent U.S. and other Western journalists and workers for non-governmental organizations (NGOs)- as being intelligence operatives or private security personnel. Since January 2010, terrorists have executed coordinated attacks with multiple operatives using portable weaponry such as guns, grenades, rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs), and suicide vests or car bombs in Peshawar, Lahore, Karachi, and Rawalpindi. Recent attacks included armed assaults on heavily guarded sites such as the naval air base in Karachi, the U.S. Consulate in Peshawar, police offices in Lahore and Karachi, military installations in Lahore, religious shrines including the Data Darbar shrine in Lahore and the Baba Farid Ganj Shakar shrine in southern Punjab, religious processions in Lahore, a hospital in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, and a food distribution center in Bajaur Agency. U.S. citizens have been victims of attacks in the last few years. On May 20, 2011, a U.S. consulate general vehicle in Peshawar was attacked, killing one person and injuring a dozen, including two U.S. employees of the mission. On April 5, 2010, terrorists carried out a complex attack on the U.S. Consulate General in Peshawar, with several Pakistani security and military personnel killed or wounded. On February 3, 2010, ten persons, including three U.S. military personnel, were killed and 70 injured in a suicide bombing at a new girls' school in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The October 2009 attack on the World Food Program headquarters resulted in serious injury of a U.S. citizen. On November 12, 2008, a U.S.

Smoke forces Air Canada jet back to Sydney - Techno-Guru - Latest ...

An Air Canada flight had to turn back to Sydney shortly after takeoff when smoke from a galley oven sparked a midair scare, a spokeswoman said on Thursday. Flight AC 34, bound for Vancouver and Toronto, had to return to Sydney about half an hour into the flight after smoke appeared in the jet’s kitchen, an Air Canada spokeswoman told AFP.

“The aircraft returned as a precautionary measure due to the odour of smoke in the aft galley,” the spokeswoman said.

“Landing was normal, without incident, and the aircraft taxied back to the gate on its own power. Maintenance teams are currently examining (the) aircraft,” she added.

“We are looking to resume our flight as soon as possible.”

Air Canada’s Australia general manager Jeannie Foster told local radio the smoke was first spotted by crew and it was found to be coming from an oven in the kitchen and there were no injuries.

The pilot dumped fuel prior to landing but did not declare an emergency, added Foster. There were 262 passengers on board.

Airservices Australia had earlier said the plane turned back due to “mechanical issues”, and Sydney Airport confirmed that the flight landed safely without needing emergency assistance.

“It touched down safely without incident and taxied to the bay at the international terminal. There was no intervention,” a Sydney Airport spokesman said.

Fire and Rescue officials described it as a minor incident.
