Four Americans Kidnapped In Mexico

CIUDAD VICTORIA, Mexico (AP) — The FBI and Mexican officials say four U.S. citizens were kidnapped by gunmen after crossing into Mexico. Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said Monday the four were going to buy medicine and were caught in the crossfire between two armed groups. They had entered Matamoros, across from Brownsville, Texas, on Friday. They were travelling in a white minivan with North Carolina license plates. The FBI says the vehicle came under fire shortly after it entered Mexico. U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Ken Salazar said they were kidnapped at gunpoint and an “innocent” Mexican citizen was killed. Matamoros is home to warring factions of the Gulf drug cartel.
