Uzbekistan

There is a high threat from terrorism in Uzbekistan. You should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks which could be against civilian targets, including places frequented by foreigners. Suicide bombings near the US and Israeli Embassies and at the Uzbek Prosecutor’s Office on 30 July 2004 reportedly killed four people and injured at least eight.

You should be particularly vigilant in public places, including areas frequented by tourists, and pay attention to any security announcements by the Uzbek authorities. We strongly recommend that you obtain comprehensive travel and medical insurance before travelling to Uzbekistan.

The above information was recorded on the 22nd November 2004, from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
