One of too many

A human rights activist who represented more than 600 families affected by drug-related violence in San Fernando, a city in the northeastern Mexican state of Tamaulipas, was killed by gunmen, a state official told EFE on Thursday.  Miriam Rodriguez Martinez was gunned down around 10:15 pm Wednesday at her home in the southern section of San Fernando, a Tamaulipas Attorney General’s Office spokesman said.  The gunmen called Rodriguez by name and then opened fire, hitting her about 12 times, the AG’s office spokesman said.  Latin American Herald Tribune
