Britain on Friday warned its citizens to avoid traveling to Lebanon after Hizbullah gunmen seized control of west Beirut and the country teetered on the brink of civil war. "We advise against all travel to Lebanon. The violent exchanges on the streets of Beirut and elsewhere between opposition and pro-government groups, which began on May 7, continue to pose a danger to bystanders," a statement from the Foreign Office said. It advised Britons currently in Lebanon to "exercise particular vigilance at this time and wherever possible avoid areas where there has been fighting in recent days." The advice also warned that visitors to the country were likely to get stuck there, with roads to neighboring Syria subject to closure.(AFP)
