The U.S. Department of State issued an updated travel alert for Egypt Dec. 18, just days before a car bomb killed 14 people at a police compound in Mansoura, 80 miles north of Cairo. The Dec. 24 bombing appears to have targeted police, but reports indicated that several civilians were also killed or injured in the blast. The country continues to experience political unrest since the ouster of President Mohamed Morsi in July. The travel alert strongly urges U.S. citizens to avoid all demonstrations in Egypt, as even peaceful protests can quickly become violent.
