Mexico: Radio Journalist Juan Carlos Huerta Killed in Tabasco
-------------------------------------------------------------

In Mexico, radio journalist Juan Carlos Huerta was shot dead Tuesday
morning in the southern state of Tabasco. Mexican authorities say
Huerta's killing Tuesday appeared to be related to his work as a
journalist. He's the fourth Mexican journalist killed so far this year,
and his assassination came on the first anniversary of the killing of
acclaimed Mexican journalist Javier Valdez last year.
