Mexican drug gangs threaten US reporters

The US ambassador to Mexico, Tony Garza, claims that drug traffickers are planning to kill journalists along the US-Mexico border in order to silence news reports on their activities. Eloy Aguilar, president of the foreign correspondents association in Mexico, has also advised US correspondents in Mexico to "be extremely careful and security conscious." The San Antonio Express-News has now pulled its correspondent out of Laredo, Texas, across the border from the violent town of Nuevo Laredo. (Via E&P)
