Warning
This Travel Warning was issued on July 3,
2008, to remind U.S. citizens that the potential for a terrorist attack or
localized civil disturbance still exists, despite the fact that there have
been no violent incidents in Uzbekistan since May 2005. The Department of
State continues to urge Americans in Uzbekistan to exercise caution when
traveling in the region. This supersedes the Travel Warning dated October
25, 2007.
The U.S. Government continues to receive
information that indicates terrorist groups may be planning attacks,
possibly against U.S. interests, in Uzbekistan. Supporters of terrorist
groups such as the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, Al-Qaida, the Islamic
Jihad Union, and the Eastern Turkistan Islamic Movement are active in the
region. Members of these groups have expressed anti-U.S. sentiments and have
attacked U.S. Government interests in the past, including the U.S. Embassy
in Tashkent, and may attempt to target U.S. Government or private American
interests in Uzbekistan. In the past, these groups have conducted
kidnappings, assassinations, and suicide bombings, though no instances have
been documented in recent years.

Increased security at official U.S.
facilities over the past year may lead terrorists and their sympathizers to
seek softer targets. These may include facilities where Americans and other
foreigners congregate or visit, such as residential areas, clubs,
restaurants, places of worship, schools, hotels, outdoor recreation events,
and resorts. The U.S. Embassy in Tashkent continues to employ heightened
security precautions. U.S. citizens should report any unusual activity to
local authorities and then inform the Embassy.
The Uzbek Government maintains travel restrictions on large parts of the
Surkhandarya province bordering Afghanistan, including the border city of
Termez. American citizens intending to travel to this region must obtain a
special permission card from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry
of Internal Affairs, or Uzbek embassies and consulates abroad. Even with
permission, however, some American citizens transiting to Afghanistan via
Termez have been briefly detained and/or fined for not registering in
Uzbekistan. Furthermore, American citizens affiliated with a nongovernmental
organization that has been closed down in Uzbekistan may be denied entry,
even with a valid visa

Uzbekistan experienced a wave of
terrorist violence in 2004. In July 2004 there were three suicide bombings
in Tashkent, including one outside the U.S. Embassy. The Islamic Jihad Union
(IJU) claimed responsibility for the attacks. The IJU also used suicide
bombers in multiple attacks focused on police and Uzbek private and
commercial facilities in Tashkent and Bukhara in late March and early April
2004. In May 2005, armed militants stormed a prison in Andijon, released its
prisoners, and then took control of the regional administration and other
government buildings in Andijon Province. Fighting broke out between
government forces and the militants, and reports indicated that several
hundred civilians died in the ensuing violence. While there were no reports
of U.S. citizens affected by these events, U.S. citizens and other
foreigners in Uzbekistan frequently have experienced harassment from
authorities and local residents since the 2005 violence.
