The statement warns U.S. citizens of the risks of travelling to Nigeria and recommends that U.S. citizens should especially avoid travelling to Adamawa, Borno & Yobe. Except for essential matters.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a><br /> Other states that are to be avoided due to the risk of kidnappings, robberies, and other armed attacks are:  Bauchi, Bayelsa, Delta, Edo, Gombe, Imo, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Kogi, Niger, Plateau, Rivers, Sokoto, and Zamfara.<br /> <br /> States in the Northeast are to be avoided because the security situation in northeast remains 'fluid and unpredictable'. The statement explained that the ability of the Mission in Nigeria to provide assistance to U.S. citizens in Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe states remains severely limited. All U.S. citizens are to be particularly vigilant around government security facilities; churches, mosques, and other places of worship; locations where large crowds may gather, such as hotels, clubs, bars, restaurants, markets, shopping malls; and other areas frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers.<br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> "Security measures in Nigeria remain heightened due to threats posed by extremist groups, and U.S. citizens may encounter police and military checkpoints, additional security, and possible road blocks throughout the country. All U.S. citizens should remain aware of current situations including curfews, travel restrictions, and states of emergency in the areas they are in or plan to visit. </blockquote> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> "Kidnappings remain a security concern throughout the country. Criminal elements throughout Nigeria orchestrate kidnappings for ransom; Islamic extremists, operating predominantly in the North, also have been known to conduct kidnappings. Criminals or militants have abducted foreign nationals, including U.S. citizens, from off-shore and land-based oil facilities, residential compounds, airports, and public roadways. </blockquote> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> "Militant groups have destroyed oil production infrastructure in Bayelsa and Delta states.  U.S. citizens are advised to avoid the areas of these states where these incidents have occurred. Attacks by pirates off the coast of Nigeria in the Gulf of Guinea have increased substantially in recent years.  Armed gangs have boarded both commercial and private vessels to rob travelers. The Nigerian Navy has limited capacity to respond to criminal acts at sea."</blockquote> <!-- Digital AdPlanet - Ad Display Code --> <script src="//www.digitaladplanet.com/portal/display/js/ads.js?2244&124&468&60&0" type="text/javascript"></script> <!-- Digital AdPlanet - Ad Display Code --> <!-- Digital AdPlanet - Ad Display Code --> <script src="//www.digitaladplanet.com/portal/display/js/ads.js?2363&124&728&90&0" type="text/javascript"></script> <!-- Digital AdPlanet - Ad Display Code --> <br /> <div align="center"> <script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <!-- JJD1 --> <br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-9872345222599731" data-ad-slot="2611207405" style="display: inline-block; height: 250px; width: 300px;"></ins><script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script></div> </div>

"But they cannot really make 100 percent that it's a bomb." </blockquote> It will be several more days before the initial findings are released, he said. <br /> <br /> So far, no terrorist group have claimed credit for the blast. But Somalia has been waging a long-running battle with the terrorist group al Shabab, which is allied with al Qaeda. <br /> Meanwhile, the Somalis identified the passenger who was killed after he was blown out of the plane by the blast as Abdullahi Abdisalam Borleh, 55. <br /> <div class="ad-container ad-container_default ad-container_mobile ad-hide"> <div class="ad-label ad-hide">  </div> </div> A high ranking intelligence officer with the Somali government told NBC News that Borleh is not believed to have been the bomber. <br /> His body was found in the town of Jowhar which about 56 miles north of Mogadishu and the airport from which the Airbus A 321 with 74 passengers on board took off, officials said.<br /> <br /> The jetliner was had only climbed to an elevation of 12,000 to 14,000 feet when the blast rocked the plane just minutes after it took off from Mogadishu International Airport. Had it been higher, the difference in pressure would likely have been more devastating. <br /> <br /> Capt. Vladimir Vodopivec, the pilot, managed to turn the plane around and bring it safely back to the airport. </div>
