Mexican journalist shot five times

Mexican journalist Alberto Fernández Portilla has been shot and wounded at his home by a gunman who shouted: "Don't mess with our leader". Fernández was shot five times and is recovering in hospital. He is news director at radio station XEKZ in Tehuantepec, a town in Oaxaca state, editor of the Salina Cruz-based weekly paper El Semanario and a political columnist with the Salina Cruz daily El Sol del Istmo. In recent months, he has reported extensively on corruption involving Mexico's state-owned oil and gas monopoly Petróleos Mexicanos. (Via IFEX)
