Subject: Mexico Declares War on American Journalists Reporting on
War with Mexico
Mexican Drug Traffickers Threaten U.S. Journalists

A Texas newspaper has pulled a reporter out of the border city of
Laredo following reports that Mexican drug traffickers are planning
to kill foreign journalists along the U.S.-Mexico border.
The San Antonio Express-News said Friday it did not know if the
threat is true, but that it will err on the side of caution.
Laredo is across the border from the crime-ridden Mexican city of
Nuevo Laredo, which has seen numerous killings and shootouts
between drug smuggling gangs. Journalists covering the drug-
related violence are constantly threatened and attacked.
U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Tony Garza said in a statement Friday
that U.S and Mexican authorities will do everything possible to
ensure the safety of American reporters working on both sides of
the border.
Garza said threats against journalists must be condemned by all who
understand the importance of a free press in a democratic society.
Separately, Reporters Without Borders urged Mexico's government to
stop the violations of press freedom it says are coming from local
politicians and criminal gangs.
The press freedom group said recent threats and advertising
boycotts against journalists and media have taken place in the
states of Puebla, Guanajuato and Yucatan.
The rights group said the violations are typical of the kind of
pressure to which Mexican media are constantly subjected.
Reporters Without Borders said it considers Mexico one of the
world's most dangerous places for the press, with two journalists
killed and two missing since January.
