From the Associated Press this morning: Four U.S. citizens found strangled in Tijuana Deaths the latest in string of violence that authorities blame on drug war TIJUANA, Mexico - The bodies of four U.S. citizens were found strangled, beaten and stabbed in a van in this border city, two days after they reportedly left their Southern California homes for a night at the Mexican clubs, U.S. officials said Thursday.

U.S. consular officials in Tijuana said the victims — two men and two women from the San Diego and Chula Vista areas — were U.S. citizens. The state attorney general's office in Baja California said one of the women was Mexican. Full article: [view link]

    Scary. No hints as to the motive for this violence? Did the bad-guys rob them? Were they just making a statement, like "We are going to scare away tourists and hurt your revenue stream if you keep messing with our drug trade?" What would inspire such lunacy?

    They were very young and from Chula Vista. They went looking for drugs and got in over their heads. They weren't tourists looking for a few drinks.
