THE Foreign Office has today issued a worldwide threat warning to alert British nationals to the heightened risk of terrorist attacks during military action in Iraq.
The department headed by Blackburn MP and Foreign Secretary, Jack Straw, has issued the following text regarding travel around the world.
'The risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks in public places, including tourist sites, will be especially high during military action in Iraq.
"You should be vigilant, take sensible precautions, be aware of local sensibilities, monitor the media, and check our Travel Advice for the country you live in or plan to visit.'
