Kidnappers in Loreto? L.A.Times

My wife told me the L.A.Times had an article about kidnapping in Mexico. Article specifically mentioned Loreto. I have heard nothing from the locals about this. Anyone see the article or know anything about kidnappings.

NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico (AP) - Dozens of kidnap victims were freed in a series of raids by soldiers and federal agents, the most dramatic results yet in a crackdown on crime and corruption in this border city, investigators said Monday.

The 44 people freed Sunday - including many found with their eyes covered with tape - told authorities they were kidnapped by police officers in Nuevo Laredo, a city of 350,000 across from Laredo, Texas, or by members of the Zetas, a gang led by former soldiers who became drug hit men and are blamed for a rash of killings and violence along the Mexico-U.S. border, said Deputy Public Safety Secretary Rafael Rios.
