Libya Do-Not-Travel Advisory Widens as Kidnapping Risk Intensifies

The U.S. State Department has elevated Libya to a Level 4 'Do Not Travel' advisory, urging Americans not to visit due to rampant kidnapping, terrorism, landmines and unrest.

The advisory notes there is no U.S. Embassy in Libya and limited government assistance in emergencies.
