The State Department is warning U.S. citizens not to travel to Libya after the attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi late Tuesday.
The Department of State warns U.S. citizens against all travel to Libya. On September 12, 2012 the Department of State ordered the departure of all non-emergency U.S. government personnel from Libya, following the attack on the U.S. Diplomatic mission in Benghazi. The political violence has increased in both Benghazi and Tripoli. The airports in Benghazi and Tripoli are open and U.S. citizens are encouraged to depart by commercial air. This Travel Warning supersedes the Travel Warning dated August 27, 2012.
