MILITARY ACTION IN AFGHANISTAN AND TERRORIST ATTACKS IN THE US
Following the terrorist attacks in the US on 11 September and the subsequent military action in Afghanistan, political feelings may be running high in certain countries. We are not aware of any specific threat to British nationals. We are continuing to monitor the security situation overseas. There have been a limited number of demonstrations in some places. British nationals, in particular those unfamiliar with local conditions, should remain alert, take sensible precautions for their personal safety, and avoid public political gatherings and demonstrations.

Advice for foreign nationals visiting the UK
Some visitors travelling to the United Kingdom may be concerned about the threat of future terrorist action against the UK. Her Majesty's Government takes the possibility of any threat to the UK very seriously. While there is no specific threat against targets in the UK, we are vigilant and have put in place all suitable precautions.

Our Aim
We try to do as much as we can to help British nationals overseas. We have over two thousand staff around the world and in the FCO in London dedicated to providing British nationals with the best possible assistance – without regard to race, colour or creed.
