U.S.: Citizens in Iraq should depart
With the threat of war looming, the State Department urged all Americans Wednesday "to avoid travel to Iraq" and advised Americans there to leave.
"Foreigners present in Iraq have in the past been used as 'human shields' by the regime during periods of confrontation with the international community," the travel warning says. "There are credible reports that foreigners may face the risk of kidnapping in Iraq."
