It lists U.S. government employee travel restrictions for specific border areas, several named mountains and a military zone, and says U.S. citizens are strongly advised not to travel to those areas. The excerpt states terrorist groups continue plotting possible attacks, may attack without warning, and that a country-wide state of emergency is in effect.
