MEXICO: Garcia Mayor Survives Another Ambush; Controversial Atty Gen. Chavez Chavez Resigns; Reward for US Agent Shootings Now Over $5 Million Usd.

LAHT/

    Garcia Mayor Jaime Rodriguez (pictured left) has survived his second ambush in just over a month.
    About 40 gunmen attacked the mayor's caravan, killing  his bodyguard and wounding four others.
  On 25 February, his bodyguards killed three gunmen who also tried to kill the mayor of the prosperous Monterrey suburb.

AND:
  Controversial Attorney General Arturo Chavez Chavez (pictured) has resigned after only 18 months, the second top lawyer to do so since Calderon took office in 2006.
   Chavez, a former prosecutor in Chihuahua, was strongly denounced by the human rights community because of his many botched prosecutions in the murders of hundreds of women in the Cd. Juarez.
He was described as largely ineffective as Atty General but fiercely loyal to Calderon.
