US ISSUES ADVICE TO STAY AWAY FROM GIG: While the warning to American nationals to avoid the Ibrahim Tatlises gig in Berlin could be put down to the US' hyper-jumpiness, it does seem strange that the American mission in Germany would be so specific in its prediction of "an act of violence" in a city where it otherwise accepts risk is "low"; in addition, when the Turkish singer appeared in Hamburg last month, someone let off a hand grenade in the crowd, injuring two people.

The US Government has yet to express an opinion on the Morrissey versus Go-Betweens question.
