\u201cThe U.S. Consulate General Karachi received a report of a threat directed at high-end hotels in Karachi,\u201d the department said in a security alert.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe U.S. Consulate General in Karachi has temporarily limited visits by official U.S. government personnel to these hotels.\u201d<\/p>\n

The State Department said it sometimes declares areas in foreign countries such as tourist attractions, hotels, markets, shopping malls and restaurants off-limits to official U.S. government personnel in response to such threats.<\/p>\n

The security alert urges people to avoid the areas and crowds, keep a low profile and to stay alert in places frequented by tourists and citizens of Western countries.<\/p>\n

The State Department currently has a travel advisory in place for Pakistan that advises U.S. citizens to reconsider traveling there due to the risk of terrorism and the potential for armed conflict.\u00a0<\/p>\n
