AP/ MIAMI HERALD/ Eight journalists have been kidnapped in the state of Tamaulipas during the past two weeks. Only three of the journalists abducted between Feb. 18 and March 3 in Reynosa, across the border from McAllen, Texas, have reappeared: Two were released alive and one was found dead with signs of torture. Five are still missing. The intimidation by drug gangs has been so heavy that most Mexican news media did not even report on the Reynosa kidnappings.
