U.S. Heightens Travel Warning To 14 Mexican States

MEXICO CITY (February 11, 2012)--The U.S. State Department is recommending that Americans avoid travel to all or parts of 14 of 31 Mexican states in the widest travel advisory since Mexico stepped up its drug war in 2006.

The state department advises against any nonessential travel to Chihuahua, Coahuila and Tamaulipas, all of which border the U.S., and the central state of Durango and advises caution in three other border states, as well as states in central and western Mexico where cartels have been warring.

The advisory this week said U.S. citizens have been victims of drug violence, including killings, kidnappings and carjacking.

The previous warning in April 2011 recommended avoiding travel in just two states, Tamaulipas and Michoacan, and parts of eight others.
