Published

on

Two Americans dead from Mexican drug cartel kidnapping, two others who survived are back in U.S.

Two of the four Americans who authorities say were kidnapped in Mexico have been found dead, and at least one person has been detained in connection to the fatal encounter.

Two survived the ordeal, but a U.S. official says one of the survivors is severely injured.

Those two surviving Americans are now in the care of the FBI and have returned to the United States where they are receiving medical treatment

Investigators continue to determine why and how four Americans were kidnapped in Mexico.

The group of friends traveled from South Carolina, so one of them could undergo a medical procedure across America’s border.

But, in that border city, they were placed in a vehicle and taken from the scene by armed men.

A U.S. official said investigators believe a Mexican cartel likely mistook them for Haitian drug smugglers.

The U.S. Department of State is calling for accountability and did not rule out designating drug cartels as terrorist organisation.

The White House expressed condolences and said U..S. President Joe Biden has been briefed on the situation.

Officials continue to investigate this deadly international incident.

Meanwhile, Republicans continue to sound the alarm over safety concerns about drug cartels’ criminal activity and violence spilling over into America.
