Baja California, Mexico -- The state of Baja California is asking the US for help in addressing the problem of kidnappings for cash.
Baja California's Attorney General recently met with the head of the Senate's Foreign Relations Committee to discuss implementing a new Mexican
criminal code aimed at stopping kidnapping for ransom, which the Mexican Attorney General says is almost as big a problem as the drug trade.
He says he is grateful for the help and support the state has been getting from the US.DENNIS - 10-3-2010 at 09:08 AM

It's probably all the same people. We've discussed it here before.....when things get tight in one activity, they do something else.
Oh yeah....glad to hear they're thankful for something we do, but I hope all of this doesn't lead to us incarcerating all of their garbage at our
expense.Woooosh - 10-3-2010 at 10:26 AM
So here they go... trying to solving a problem that doesn't exist.
Aren't MOST ?

Of those kidnapped in certain Targeted Groups ? Shouldn't it be up to them to demand better results from their own government ?Woooosh - 10-3-2010 at 12:21 PM

The "targeted group" now equals everyone. The cash demands are now a much lower amount- so more regular people are targets- both Mexicans and expats.
There's no help available when the people rightly don't trust their police. Mexicans need a toll-free hotline that works from every type of phone
and rings NOB and then sends help from there. Then they will pick up a phone- maybe.
