State Department issues worldwide travel alert
The State Department has issued a worldwide travel alert, warning US citizens that plans by a Florida pastor to burn Korans on Sept. 11 could provoke anti-US demonstrations.
The US government issued a new Travel Alert for Mexico because of the recent increase in violence there and particularly recommended to travelers that they avoid the states of Michoacan, Durango, Coahuila and Chihuahua, which are the ones that are in the most turmoil.
