Two American Officials Targeted for Death in Mexico

Acapulco is known as paradise on the Pacific, but this weekend, six police officers were shot dead and decapitated bodies were found on a busy road packed with nightclubs. In Ciudad Juarez, three people connected to the US consulate were gunned down in their cars, while returning from a birthday party. This grizzly violence raises the question of whether it’s safe to visit Mexico. Andrew Selee is Director of the Mexico Institute at the Woodrow Wilson Center.
