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.

MEXICO CITY – An unknown assailant tossed a grenade into the offices of a northern Mexican newspaper a day after gunmen snatched a reporter from a nearby city, part of a campaign against the media by drug gangs.

The grenade exploded inside the offices of Cambio newspaper in the northern city of Hermosillo Tuesday night, breaking windows and startling reporters. Nobody was injured, newspaper director Roberto Gutierrez told Reuters.

The attack came a day after gunmen in the city of Agua Prieta on the U.S. border, which is in the same state of Sonora as Hermosillo, snatched a crime reporter investigating the country's bloody war between rival drug cartels.
