Near-confrontation at Ciudad Juárez
The killing of a 14-year-old boy under a border railway bridge at
Ciudad Juárez almost led to a confrontation between Mexican security forces and
US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents on 7 June. An FBI spokesman said
that agents saw Mexican soldiers point their guns at them as they tried to
investigate the incident. The Mexican defence ministry curtly dismissed this
claim, and Mexican eyewitnesses suggested that the FBI agents could not
distinguish between Mexican soldiers and federal police officers.
