Austria is advising its citizens against nonessential travel to Syria due to what it calls a high security risk linked to the ongoing unrest in the country. Syria has seen more than a week of demonstrations.
Austria's Foreign Ministry warned against travel to the southern city of Daraa and its surroundings, and strongly advised travelers to stay away from demonstrations, larger gatherings and scenes of police and military action.
Two Reuters television journalists have been missing in Syria since Saturday night, when they were due to return to Lebanon.
