Algeria: U.S. State Department Issues Level 2 Travel Advisory

The U.S. Department of State has issued a Level 2 travel advisory for Algeria, advising increased caution due to terrorism and kidnapping. Terrorist attacks are possible in both rural and urban areas, and kidnapping for ransom in the deep south has targeted foreigners in recent years. The U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency services, and some areas are designated 'Do Not Travel' zones.
