UK issues Sri Lanka travel warning to Britons after bombings

It said despite dozens of people being arrested in the country over the Easter Sunday atrocities,"the extent of any continued threat following the 21 April attacks remains unclear".

The FCO said it issues such warnings in the case of terrorism when there are situations of extreme and imminent danger and where the threat is sufficiently specific, large-scale or endemic to affect British nationals severely.The FCO added:"Some travel insurance policies may allow you to claim if you cancel a journey because of a change in our travel advice."

Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said:"Following the horrific attacks on Easter Sunday, and the ongoing Sir Lankan security operation, I have received updated advice from the Foreign Office and decided to update the travel advice to British nationals to Sri Lanka to advise against all but essential travel.

"Our hope is that it will be possible to change this when the current security operation has concluded. My first priority will always be the security of British citizens living and travelling abroad. "We all hope the situation will return to normal very soon, and that the Sri Lankan tourism industry is able to get back on its feet following the terrorist attacks.:: If your Sri Lanka travel plans are affected by the Foreign Office's decision please get in touch with Sky News via:

JuliaHB1 Just now ?

Why do you need warnings not to travel to Sri Lanka? I mean, why would anyone want to go there in the first place? Don't they watch the news?🤔

JuliaHB1 Our Government is behind the issue again. Too busy trying to protect their own pisitions?

JuliaHB1 So what’s different from the United Kingdom ? You want to warn tourists from coming here especially Londonstan.

Ummmm ... Horse / gate ?

JuliaHB1 Pesky Mormons.

JuliaHB1 Surely this cannot be because of the peacefully antics of the religion that cannot be criticised for fear of being a phobic.

Should have a travel warning to the UK, which allows terrorists in

That will ruin Ian Paisley Jr's holiday plans

Thanks Sky, last thing we need is more 'Easter Worshipers' killed!

Large scale organized terror attacks targeting tourists and non Muslims you mean?

JuliaHB1 Have they seen London? Who the hell would travel to that shithole lately given the choice.

Fuuuuuuck. Meant to be flying next Friday.....
