US urge tourists to avoid visiting
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The U.S. State Department is urging tourists to avoid visiting a Caribbean nation amid a state of emergency. "and don't bring your pets, neither" A 'Level Four: Do Not Travel' advisory for Haiti has been in place since March due to the country's ongoing civil unrest, gang violence and riots. But on September 18, the U.S. State Department updated the advisory with details about the risk of traveling - including kidnapping, mob violence and armed robberies. They wrote: 'Kidnapping is widespread, and U.S. citizens have been victims and have been hurt or killed. Kidnappers may plan carefully or target victims at random, unplanned times. Kidnappers will even target and attack convoys. 'Kidnapping cases often involve ransom requests. Victims' families have paid thousands of dollars to rescue their family members.'
