The U.S. Embassy in Pakistan issued a security warning on May 10 to Americans after the arrest of former Prime Minister Imran Khan triggered rioting and protests across the country.

“The U.S. Embassy in Islamabad continues to monitor the potential for road closures and/or traffic delays throughout Pakistan. The U.S. Embassy has canceled all routine consular appointments through Friday,” the bulletin said, adding that the embassy will be open for “emergency services.”
