BAGHDAD, Iraq The U-S Embassy in Iraq is prohibiting its employees from using the dangerous highway that links Baghdad and its international airport.

The British Foreign Office issued a similar order Monday.

The ten-mile stretch of road has been the scene of numerous roadside bombings and suicide attacks on U-S targets.

The embassy is also urging American civilians in Iraq to review their security situations and it's cautioning others to avoid traveling to Iraq unless it's absolutely necessary.
