Mexican Drug Traffickers Threaten Foreign Journalists
Tagged: border, crime, Mexico, newspaper, reporterPosted on: July 16th, 2007“A Texas newspaper has pulled a reporter out of the border city of Laredo following reports that Mexican drug traffickers are planning to kill foreign journalists along the U.S.-Mexico border.
The San Antonio Express-News said Friday it did not know if the threat is true, but that it will err on the side of caution.
Laredo is across the border from the crime-ridden Mexican city of Nuevo Laredo, which has seen numerous killings and shootouts between drug smuggling gangs. Journalists covering the drug-related violence are constantly threatened and attacked.”
