Citing terror threat, Australia urges citizens to avoid Istanbul, Ankara
DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. March 31, 2016, 9:17 AM (IDT)
The Australian government issued an urgent warning to its citizens on Thursday, urging them to defer travel to major Turkish cities, especially Istanbul and Ankara, and “reconsider your need for travel”, indicating the country's second-highest danger level. Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, who announced the warning, said ”Terrorist groups continue to threaten further attacks, including targeting tourists and westerners.”
Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
