The American embassy in Syria has warned all U.S. citizens to leave the country due to "the increased possibility of attacks" during the Eid al-Fitr holiday at the end of March, which marks the end of Ramadan in the Muslim world.
The embassy posted a notice to its website late on Friday cautioning citizens of potential attacks targeting "embassies, international organizations and Syrian public institutions" in the Syrian capital Damascus.
"Methods of attack could include, but are not limited to, individual attackers, armed gunmen, or the use of explosive devices," the embassy notice said. "Leave Syria now," it added.
The State Department's current travel advisory for Syria is at level 4 -- its highest alert meaning Americans are advised not to travel to the country for any reason.

After Assad fled to Russia, not sure who else might be there, other than some of our military, unless some did actually go back after Assad was confirmed gone.
