MEXICO: Dozens Of Gunmen Storm 2 Monterrey Hotels, Kidnap At Least 7.
NYTIMES/ In perhaps the most brazen attack yet by narco thugs, up to 50 masked gunmen stormed 2 Monterrey hotels at 3 a.m. and kidnapped at least 7 people. Mayor Fernando Larrazabal reported that police couldn't reach the scene because the attackers blocked streets with autos. The kidnappers disappeared in less than 20 minutes. “Unchecked, violence and instability could cause corporations to rethink their business strategy of locating in Mexico,” observed U.S.Ambassador Carlos Pascual.
