Safety and Security Information

SAFETY AND SECURITY INFORMATION: Following the October 2002 and August 2003 terrorist bombings in Indonesia, the Department of State continues to be concerned that extremist groups, such as Jemaah Islamiyah (JI), that have transnational capability to carry out terrorist attacks, may do so in various Southeast Asian nations, including Brunei. JI, designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, is known to have cells operating in Southeast Asia and to have connections with al-Qaeda, other regional terrorist groups and previous regional terrorist attacks. As security is increased at official U.S. facilities, terrorists will seek softer targets. These may include facilities where Americans and Westerners are known to live, congregate, shop, or visit, especially hotels, clubs, restaurants, shopping centers, housing compounds, transportation systems, places of worship, schools, or outdoor recreation events. Americans in Brunei should continue to be vigilant with regard to their personal security, maintain a low profile, varying times and routes during their daily routines, and report any suspicious activity to the local police or to the U.S. Embassy’s Regional Security Officer.

For the latest security information, Americans traveling abroad should regularly monitor the Department’s Internet web site at http://travel.state.gov where the current Worldwide Caution Public Announcement, Public Announcements and Travel Warnings can be found.
