BBC News - Mexico police commander abducted in Veracruz: "Officials in Mexico say gunmen have kidnapped a police commander in the eastern state of Veracruz. Raul Espinoza and his bodyguard were abducted while on patrol in the port city of Boca del Rio.
The kidnapping comes just a day after 14 people were killed in a shoot-out between security forces and alleged gang members in the state. Veracruz had so far been spared much of the drug-related violence other Mexican states have suffered." Jan. 16, 2011

I monitor and analyze international press on Mexico, with a focus on security, immigration, human rights and social movements for peace and justice, from a feminist perspective. And sometimes I simply muse.
