CBS News: "The country's top Cabinet secretary, Francisco Blake Mora, a key figure in the Mexico's battle with drug cartels, died in a helicopter crash Friday with seven others, including the pilot, the government said.
The Presidency spokeswoman, Alejandra Sota, said authorities located the bodies of the secretary and seven others. They included Interior Undersecretary Felipe Zamora, said agency spokesman Jose Alfredo Garcia.
