Almost immediately following the news of Osama Bin Ladens death, the US State Department is putting the public on alert for revenge attacks. They have issued travel alerts, in case the killing of the world's most wanted man sparks violence among his followers. The U.S. government advised Americans abroad to stay in their homes or hotels if possible and to avoid mass gatherings or demonstrations.
The State Department said U.S. government agencies around the world are currently at "a heightened state of alert" and recommended that travelers keep up with the local media coverage and stay in contact with family and friends.
President Obama announced late Sunday that bin Laden, leader of al-Qaeda, was killed by U.S. forces in Abbottabad, about 31 miles north of the Pakistani capital of Islamabad.
