Four U.S. citizens who crossed into Mexico from Texas are missing after being assaulted and kidnapped by unidentified gunmen, FBI officials said on March 5, noting that a Mexican national was killed in the same incident.
“Unknown assailants” in the northeastern Mexican city of Matamoros in Tamaulipas state “violently kidnapped at gunpoint four U.S. citizens in an incident in which an innocent Mexican citizen was tragically killed,” U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Ken Salazar said in a statement.
