The U.S. State Department is evacuating diplomatic personnel out of Lebanon and Turkey as the Obama administration and Congress debate military strikes on neighboring Syria.
U.S. citizens are also being warned against traveling in Lebanon and southeastern Turkey, and Americans in the rest of Turkey are being urged to ‘to be alert to the potential for violence.’
In Beirut, police used barbed wire to close off roads leading to the U.S. consulate building as Lebanese supporters of the Syrian regime staged a demonstration against the proposed U.S. strikes.
