Jamaica's spike in murders triggers travel warning to Americans visiting Caribbean island nation


For the second time in as many weeks, the State Department is citing increased crime on another Caribbean island nation and warning American citizens to "reconsider travel" to Jamaica. The warning, issued on Jan. 23, is listed as Level 3, one level below the "do not travel" advisory. The U.S. recently issued a travel warning for Jamaica due to a spike in murders.
