-------------------------------------------------------


 
In the Mexican state of Veracruz, 13 local police have been detained
over the disappearance of a journalist. Moisés Sánchez, who reported
on drug-related violence and corruption, was kidnapped from his home in
Medellín de Bravo earlier this month. The 13 officers detained
