The US Embassy in Cairo issued a terrorist threat warning on Friday for American citizens living in Egypt.

The diplomatic mission stated on its website that it has “credible information suggesting terrorist interest in targeting US female missionaries in Egypt.”

The embassy urged US citizens to “exercise vigilance, taking necessary precautions to maintain their personal security.” Americans in Egypt were also advised to maintain valid travel documents and to regularly monitor the US Department of State’s Bureau of Consular Affairs website, which lists updated travel warnings and alerts.

Citing credible threat to women engaged in missionary activities, diplomats urge citizens to exercise vigilance

[SE Mom]

War on women, anyone?

[SE Mom]

Yeah...although further in the article it says:

Also on Friday, the chairwoman of the House of Representatives committee that oversees foreign aid said she would block $450 million in US assistance to Egypt in light of tense relations between the two countries.

About ti F me.

About F in time.

About f'n time.

[Truth29]

How about “get out of Egypt while you still can.”

[lightman]

So, Bammy, that Arab springy-thingy isn’t working out so well, is it?

[Safrguns]

Should be more like “Get The Hell Out!!!”

[Conservative4Ever]

Well huzzah, about time someone see the light.

This just covered on FOX. She has a hold placed on the funds. My understanding is it is indefinitely.

another post this morning tells about Baraq Hussein’s 300 million for the filthy palestinians..

[driftdiver]

I heard on fox this morning that its State Dept money and she may not be able to hold it. Essentially just another instance of ignoring the law and Congress.

I'm a God-fearin' woman and I respect religious global outreach work......but if the missionaries involved don't heed the emphatic warning just sent out, and if they aren't out of Dodge by sunset, I'll shed no tears if they become enmeshed in bad outcomes.

Agree. These folks do not treat women well- let alone western women. I’d be packed and waiting for my ride.

[dfwgator]

Frankly I would issue a warning telling Americans they shouldn’t travel to any Muslim country.

[Victor]

I was in Cairo in 2003 on some business, back when they had a semblance of "stability"....

What a hellhole.....there ain't enough money to make me want to go back.

[wastedyears]

Wait, we still have an embassy in Egypt?

[Joe Boucher]

Yeah,
Lets give these vermin millions of our tax dollars

[Joe Boucher]

It’s working out exactly how obammy hoped it would.
The whole of the mid east hates the USA even more

[moovova]

Aren’t they about 2 weeks late with the warning?

Conversely, having waited to issue this warning, were they actually implying that it was SAFE for Americans to be in Egypt for the last couple of weeks?
