Three Mexican Journalists Kidnapped in Guerrero State
-----------------------------------------------------

In Mexico, journalists in the southern state of Guerrero rallied
Wednesday to demand the release of three of their colleagues who were
kidnapped in late December. Jesús Pintor Alegre, Fernando Moreno
Villegas and Alan García Aguilar work for the outlet Escenario
Calentano. In a video posted to social media, two of the journalists can
be seen with their hands and feet chained. 

Meanwhile, authorities in Mexico City arrested 11 people in connection
with the attempted assassination of prominent television and radio host
Ciro Gómez Leyva in a drive-by shooting on December 15.
