The latest advisory cites concerns about parts of Aguascalientes, Guerrero and Nayarit in central Me

Spreading drug violence, kidnappings and carjackings in Mexico have led the U.S. State Department to increase the number of places it says Americans should avoid for safety reasons for the second time in less than a year.
A travel advisory dated Thursday urged U.S. citizens to avoid all but essential travel to 14 states in northern and central Mexico, warning that U.S. citizens have fallen victim to drug-cartel related activity "including homicide, gunbattles, kidnapping, carjacking and highway robbery."
The latest advisory ritz carlton hotels bali cites concerns about parts of Aguascalientes, Guerrero and Nayarit in central Mexico, and raises its advisory against non-essential travel to include Chihuahua, Coahuila, Durango, Nuevo Leon, San Luis Potosi, Sinaloa and Zacatecas as well as Tamaulipas and Michoacan.
The State Department also maintained an April warning against non-essential travel to parts of Sonora, south of Arizona, and central Jalisco ritz carlton hotels bali state, where drug cartel ritz carlton hotels bali violence has become more widespread.
'Unpredictable' "Gunbattles have occurred in broad daylight on streets and in other public venues, such as restaurants ritz carlton hotels bali and clubs. During some of these incidents, U.S. citizens have been trapped and temporarily prevented from leaving the area," the travel advisory said.
"The location and timing of future armed engagements is unpredictable. We recommend that you defer travel to the areas indicated in this travel warning and to exercise extreme caution when traveling throughout the northern border ritz carlton hotels bali region."
More than 47,500 people have been killed in Mexico since 2006 when President Felipe Calderon took office and sent the Mexican armed forces to crush powerful ritz carlton hotels bali cartels battling for lucrative smuggling routes to the United States.
