Have a look at the CIA world factbook, FCO Website and also have a look at and subscribe to hotspots from ASI Group.
ASI GROUP - GLOBAL RISK MANAGEMENT
This will give you an overview of the country and if anything significant has happend it will be on the hotspots report.
Not much in the way of direct intelligence but i'm sure it will give you a steer. On another note, the biggest threat to your client in whichever country he/she goes is their nationality. I was working on a US flagged ship once upon a time and the flag hanging off the back of it was the cause of all the nause. Seems that the world police have made a few enemies.
