Another Candidate for Mayor Killed in Mexico Days Ahead of Nationwide Election
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Mexico, another mayoral candidate has been killed ahead of Sunday's
election. Alfredo Cabrera was shot dead at point-blank range while at a
campaign rally in the southern Guerrero state yesterday. Just one day
earlier, on Tuesday, a mayoral candidate from the state of Morelos was
killed, and another shot and wounded in Jalisco. At least 35 political
candidates or aspiring candidates have been murdered since last
September.
