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.

Kidnappers in Mexico Release Texas Man

Dec 18, 10:23 PM EST

NEGRAS, Mexico (AP) -- A Texas man kidnapped from his Mexican hunting ranch three weeks ago was released Monday, officials said.

Librado Pina Jr., 49, was reportedly in good condition after crossing into Laredo, Texas, said Santos Vasquez, a prosecutor in the border state of Coahuila, where the kidnapping occurred. Vasquez did not comment on whether a ransom was paid for his release.

Vasquez said there was no information on the ranch's Mexican cook, Marco Ortiz, who was kidnapped along with Pina, his son, and two other men.

Librado Pina III, 25, was released Friday in Nuevo Laredo, just across the border from Laredo. The two others were freed a few days after their abduction.

The Pinas and the others were on a hunting trip when 30 to 40 armed men abducted them Nov. 26 from the La Barranca ranch.
