Israel is removing embassy staff and families from Uzbekistan

Staff at the Israeli embassy in Uzbekistan and their families have been instructed to leave the country owing to heightened security concerns, Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev told The Associated Press Friday. He gave no further details.
Haaretz said only ambassador Ami Mel and security guards were left on station in the capital, Tashkent.
The stories I’ve seen about the US embassy all say that some staff and all families are allowed to leave, but I certainly trust the information I’ve posted here that says families must leave.

Staff at the Israeli embassy staff in Uzbekistan and families have been instructed to leave. Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev told AP. He gave no further details.

The US State Department on Thursday warned of potential terrorist attacks in Uzbekistan and gave permission for some if its embassy staff and their families to leave the country. The statement named the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, al-Qaida, the Islamic Jihad Union and the Eastern Turkistan Islamic Movement as among the groups active in the region.

Sounds like Mr K is going to get some heavy back up from his Friends in the War on Terror from the Whore on Terror in the State department.
