Drug lord 'La Barbie' takes spotlight in Mexico City
Edgar Valdez Villarreal was arrested after a 14-month manhunt involving 1,200 Mexican federal police and an unknown number of U.S. agents. He faces multiple indictments in the United States for importing tons of cocaine. Mexican authorities say he is a kidnapper, torturer and murderer - as well as a major trafficker of marijuana and cocaine.

Efforts fail to stem flow of drug money
Stashing cash in spare tires, engine transmissions and truckloads of baby diapers, couriers for Mexican drug cartels are moving tens of billions of dollars in profits south across the border each year, a river of dirty money that has overwhelmed U.S. and Mexican customs agents.

Motín carcelario en la Argentina
Un incendio provocado al parecer por reos en un intento de fuga, causó la muerte de 32 reclusos en una cárcel de la provincia de Santiago del Estero, confirmaron ayer las autoridades del penal.

El juez Roberto Tarcchini Saavedra, que investiga el siniestro, difundió la nómina de víctimas por intermedio del Hospital Regional de esta capital provincial, en un informe que consigna, junto al nombre de varias de las víctimas, los delitos por los que estaban detenidos.

Treinta fallecieron durante la revuelta y otros dos murieron en el hospital, donde eran atendidos

En la mañana de ayer continuaban los incidentes, pero en otro pabellón del penal, el número 3, donde otro grupo de presos también incendió colchones y ropas.

Previamente, el ministro de Justicia provincial, Ricardo Daives, había informado a la agencia gubernamental Télam que ''si bien hay 29 muertos registrados, hay versiones de que podría haber uno o dos más fallecidos'' a raíz del incendio, que estalló el domingo en la tarde provocado por los presos.

El Cuerpo Médico Forense provincial informó que recibió 30 cuerpos de presos muertos durante el incendio, a los que se les estaba practicando las correspondientes autopsias.

Sin precisar sus fuentes, el matutino El Liberal de la capital provincial, a 1,150 kilómetros al noroeste, informó ayer que el número de muertos ascendía a 39 y que casi todos murieron quemados o asfixiados. La versión no pudo ser confirmada de inmediato en fuentes oficiales.

Un número no determinados de reclusos y de guardiacárceles fueron llevados a hospitales para ser atendidos por quemaduras y principios de asfixia.

Rodolfo Camaño, director del penal, que alberga a 467 reclusos, informó a la prensa que ``se trató de un motín con intento de fuga que se originó en el pabellón 2, donde había 42 internos procesados, ninguno de los cuales consiguió fugarse''.

La policía debió mantener a raya frente al penal a centenares de angustiados familiares de los presos que reclamaban a gritos información sobre la suerte corrida por sus parientes que están en

Grief across Latam for migrant killings
He was warned the journey north would be hard, so Gilmar Morales beefed up on eggs and sausage, bought some ham sandwiches from the bodega across the street, told his mother he loved her and set off with two other relatives on a path well-traveled by young people here in one of Latin America’s poorest countries.

Trapped Chilean miners forge refuge
Mario Gómez is all too familiar with the hardships of prolonged confinement. While still in his 30s, his family said, he survived as a stowaway on a ship for 11 days, living below deck on little more than bits of chocolate and drops of water collected in a shoe — an ordeal so trying it brought him closer to God.

Legalize, regulate and tax drugs

It’s great they got these drug lords, but they will be replaced quickly. Law enforcement is helpless in the fight against the cartels due to their economic ability to sustain their criminal activities.
