Abducted Mexican journalist found dead

Newspaper reporter Eliseo Barrón Laguna was found dead yesterday after being kidnapped the night before in Durango state, northern Mexico. A drug gang is suspected of the murder. Barrón, a crime correspondent for La Opinión de Torreón, recently wrote about the firing of 302 police officers in Torreón for abuse of authority. His death follows the killing earlier this month of another journalist in Durango state, Carlos Ortega. (Via Knight Centre)
