What state departement?Whatever version.I don't think it was considered to be Daesh territory, though, was it? Perhaps it is now but I don't recall any other incidents before this one that have been claimed by the group. I'm not saying there haven't been though. But if it was known Daesh territory - why did the state department only rate it as a level one risk? I wouldn't go there until it's level zero because they have rather strange risk rates there.... https://www.cbsnews.com/news/isis-claims-tajikistan-attack-cyclists-2-americans-dead-tajiks-blame-islamists/ |

What state departement?Erm... the one mentioned in my post ;) Oddly... I thought I'd saved myself some time by shortening it to just "state department". Now I realise, all I'd shaved off was two letters (U.S) which would have taken barely any time to include, and instead loads more were needed to explain myself ;) Apologies, moomin. I wouldn't go there until it's level zero because they have rather strange risk rates there....I suppose. Cycling round the globe along any route you might opt for, is never going to be without risk though. |

Hehe:) Actually I missed that part you mentioned that it's the US state departement that give the ratings. Well I have my own opinions on those ratings. |

https://www.haaretz.com/middle-east-news/the-hidden-toll-of-american-drones-in-yemen-civilian-deaths-1.6656362 There is no comprehensive count of civilian deaths because of the difficulty of confirming identities and allegiances of those killed. But in an examination of drone strikes this year alone, The Associated Press found that at least 30 of the dead likely did not belong to al-Qaida. I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ... |
