US expands Laos warning after attacks on tourist route

[craigt3365]

WASHINGTON — The United States issued a new travel warning for Laos on Monday (March 7) after the latest shooting attacks against traffic on a road much used by international tourists.

Last month, Washington had already warned travellers to avoid the southeast Asian country’s Xaisomboun province after roadside attacks left three dead.

Now the warning has been extended to Road 13, a major route between Luang Prabang to Vang Vieng, two of the country’s most popular tourist destinations.

Sounds like anti government terror.

Random shooting at buses, killing police, bombing.
