Americans fall victim to Mexico drug war rise
The wave of drug violence in Mexico ties to U S consulate killings and kidnappings with 79 American deaths in 2009 up from 35 in 2007. In Ciudad Juarez, 23 Americans were murdered in 2009, while other cases include a pregnant consulate employee and a mass abduction in Durango. FBI aid and widespread arrests follow a deadly March 13 attack on a U S couple leaving a birthday party, prompting calls for U S involvement.
