In Mexico, suspected drug traffickers have assassinated the mayor of a city in the border state of Tamaulipas. Marco Antonio Leal was shot Sunday while driving through the rural municipality of Hidalgo. The mayor’s young daughter was injured in the attack. Leal is the second mayor in Mexico to be assassinated in the past month. The state of Tamaulipas, which borders Texas, is where the bodies of seventy-two murdered migrant workers were found last week. Meanwhile, on Friday two car bombs exploded in Ciudad Victoria, the capital of Tamaulipas. One of the bombs exploded outside the studio of Televisa, Mexico’s leading television network. More than 28,000 people have died in drug violence since Mexican President Felipe Calderón took office in December 2006.
