WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States tightened security at diplomatic missions in Lebanon and Turkey on Friday because of threats, ordering personnel out of Lebanon and offering to evacuate those in Adana in southeastern Turkey.
In Lebanon, officials ordered non-emergency personnel and their family members out of the country “due to threats,” the U.S. Embassy in Beirut said in statement.
The State Department urged “U.S. citizens to avoid all travel to Lebanon because of current safety and security concerns.”
In Turkey, U.S. officials offered voluntary evacuation to reduce its diplomatic presence at the consulate in Adana, Turkey, “because of threats against U.S. government facilities and personnel.” Adana is near the border with Syria.
“The Consulate General in Adana has been authorized to draw down its non-emergency staff and family members,” the State Department said in a statement.
It also recommended “that U.S. citizens defer non-essential travel to southeastern Turkey.”
