Gómez Mont in Juárez

Mexico's interior secretary spent the last couple of days visiting politicians and political leaders in Chihuahua and Juárez, reassuring them that the government's security strategy in the region is sound. 

This sentiment failed to convince everyone, for instance the author of the quote a below, a local factory owner:

I don't want to be alarmist, but we are all living moments of terror, because we don't know when we are going to be subjected to an assault, an extortion, or a kidnapping; when there is a failure it is because the desired result isn't achieved, and that's the case. 

Also from Juárez, the LA Times reports that the investigator into the murder of a local reporter was himself killed at his home on Tuesday.
