DRUG WAR: U.S. officials met with alleged boy hitman in Mexico - The Daily Breeze: "U.S. Embassy officials met with Mexico's alleged child assassin to check on his welfare and provide him with information on a lawyer in the case that he is an American, a spokesman said Tuesday.
Mexican officials and his family say the boy, 14, who claims he carried out at least four executions, was born in the United States even though he spent much of his childhood in Mexico.
But Embassy spokesman Alexander Featherstone said his citizenship has not been determined, and U.S. officials met with the teen on Monday to offer him consular assistance 'in case he is a U.S. citizen.'" Dec. 8, 2010, AP
