In a revised travel alert, the U.S. State Department added places in the states of Durango and Coahuila to a list of areas along the U.S.-Mexico border where it recommends visitors delay nonessential travel. The cities of Durango and Gomez Palacio in Durango state and the area known as “La Laguna” in Coahuila state have seen dramatic increases in violence. Four U.S. citizens were murdered in Gomez Palacio in late 2009 and early 2010, and these crimes remain unsolved. Most violence in the region is a product of the illicit drug trade.
