Original warning text

1. THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE WARNS U.S. CITIZENS OF THE HIGH
   SECURITY THREAT LEVEL IN YEMEN DUE TO TERRORIST
   ACTIVITIES AND RECOMMENDS POSTPONING NON-ESSENTIAL
   TRAVEL TO YEMEN. THE LEVEL OF RISK FOR FOREIGNERS IN
   YEMEN REMAINS HIGH. 
   YEMEN BASED AL QAIDA ARABIAN PENINSULA (AQAP)
   MAINTAINS AN INTEREST IN CONDUCTING ATTACKS AGAINST
   PORT FACILITIES, COMMERCIAL, OR TRANSITING WARSHIPS,
   AND ARE ENGAGED IN GENERAL PLANNING IN THIS REGARD.
   HOWEVER, IT CANNOT BE
   RULED OUT THAT THE EXTREMISTS MAY BE CAPABLE OF OTHER
   MORE SOPHISTICATED METHODS OF TARGETING, SUCH AS THE
   USE OF MORTARS OR PROJECTILES TO TARGET SHIPS SUCH AS
   THE MISSILES USED TO UNSUCCESSFULLY STRIKE A NAVY SHIP
   IN JORDAN IN 2005. ALTHOUGH THE TIME AND LOCATION OF
   SUCH AN ATTACK IS UNKNOWN, IT IS LIKELY THAT SHIPS IN
   THE BAB-AL-MANDEB STRAIT, SOUTHERN RED SEA, AND THE
   GULF OF ADEN ALONG THE COAST OF YEMEN, AS WELL AS IN
   ASSOCIATED PORTS OR AT OFFSHORE FACILITIES ARE AT THE
   GREATEST RISK OF BECOMING TARGETS OF SUCH AN ATTACK.
2. TRAVEL BY BOAT THROUGH THE RED SEA OR NEAR THE SOCOTRA
   ISLANDS IN THE GULF OF ADEN ALSO PRESENTS A CONTINUING
   HIGH RISK OF PIRATE ATTACKS. IN 2009, OVER 70 VESSELS
   WERE REPORTEDLY ATTACKED. SINCE THE BEGINNING OF 2010,
   FOUR VESSELS REPORTEDLY HAVE BEEN SEIZED IN THE AREA,
   WITH ONE RELEASED IN FEBRUARY. AS OF 15 MARCH 2010,
   NINE VESSELS AND CREW WERE BEING HELD FOR RANSOM, IN
   ADDITION TO A BRITISH COUPLE THAT WAS ABDUCTED FROM
   THEIR YACHT.
