The U.S. Embassy in Vientiane reports that a number of bombings have occurred in public places frequented by tourists in Vientiane since March 30. Several foreigners and Lao citizens were injured in separate explosions in the Morning Market and in a restaurant near the Nam Phu Plaza area, two of the most popular gathering places for tourists and locals in Vientiane. At the end of July, a bomb exploded in the Vientiane Central Post Office, injuring several Lao nationals. Police also discovered a small explosive device in the domestic terminal of the Vientiane Airport. Other incidents involved an explosion in Vientiane's Central Bus Station near the Morning Market, the detonation of an explosive device on a bicycle in a restaurant parking lot, an explosion near an outdoor restaurant, and the accidental detonation of a grenade by a gang of youths. In addition, there have been credible reports of other explosive devices found in Savannakhet and Pakse cities.

While there is no evidence that this violence has been directed against American citizens or institutions, American citizens should be aware that more such incidents could occur in the future.
