Verdict of Saddam Hussein Trial Nov. 5th, 2006.

Dear Fellow American Citizens,
On November 5, 2006, the Iraqi High Tribunal in Baghdad,
Iraq reached a verdict in the trial of ousted Iraqi
dictator Saddam Hussein. Mr. Hussein was found guilty of
crimes against humanity and sentenced to death. This
verdict may prompt unrest and anti-American demonstrations
in some countries. We wish to remind American citizens that
even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn
confrontational and possibly escalate into violence.

American citizens are strongly encouraged to maintain a high
level of vigilance, be aware of local events, and take the
appropriate steps to bolster their personal security.
American citizens may contact the U.S. Embassy at Maseru
for further information.  For after-hours emergencies, please
dial 2231-2666.

For the latest security information, Americans traveling
abroad should regularly monitor the Department's Internet
