US Immigration Agent Shot Dead in Mexico

Special Agent Jaime Zapata and a second unidentified agent were attacked on the country's north-south highway about 200 miles north of Mexico City.
The two were on duty for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency when they were stopped by unknown gunmen at what appeared to be a military checkpoint.
However, Mexican officials said there were no authorised checkpoints in the area.
Agent Zapata was shot dead and the second agent was wounded in his arm and leg, but is said to be in stable condition.
The US embassy said the two workers were making their way from Mexico City to Monterrey in the north when they were stopped.DISCLAIMER:Text may be subject to copyright.This blog does not claim copyright to any such text. Copyright remains with the original copyright holder.
