News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in. We, as the USA, have a responsibility to do as much as we can to reach out to aid and assist spiritually with the Gospel and naturally with training, technology and resources. But poverty gives no one the right to break the laws of another sovereign nation.

3 Men Killed in 2 Attacks in Mexico

NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico (AP) -- Three men were shot to death in two different attacks in this dangerous border city, bringing to at least 115 the number of people slain by violence this year, authorities said Wednesday.

A 28-year-old mechanic was shot several times and died outside of his garage Tuesday, according to Rail Gland, an investigator from the attorney general's office for Tamaulipas state, which includes Nuevo Laredo.

Police said at least two men armed with machine guns did the shooting, suggesting it was drug-related.

Just before midnight Tuesday, an unknown number of gunmen with assault rifles shot and killed two men in a vehicle as they arrived at one of their homes.

Authorities had yet to determine a motive in the second slaying and there were no arrests made in either case.
