Second Mexican editor abducted by gunmen

The editor of a Mexican regional daily newspaper has been abducted. Saúl Martínez Ortega, of the Diario de Agua Prieta in the northwestern state of Sonora, is the second newspaper journalist to disappear in suspicious circumstances in Mexico this year. A group of men armed with large-calibre guns kidnapped Martínez outside the municipal security office in Agua Prieta. His abduction comes 10 days after the murder of Televisa correspondent Amado Ramírez in Acapulco. Drug cartels are suspected in both cases. (Via Editor & Publisher)
