    Suspected kidnappers of Mexican diplomat arrested

    CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Police have arrested two men and a woman suspected of participating in last week's kidnapping of Mexico's ambassador to Venezuela and his wife.

    Four armed men seized Ambassador Carlos Pujalte and his wife as they were leaving a party shortly before midnight on Jan. 29 in Venezuela's capital.

    The kidnappers freed the couple four hours later.

    In a statement released on Monday, the prosecutor-general's office announced the arrests of Juan Pacheco, Oswaldo Leon and Mayurki Barreto.

    Venezuela has one of Latin America's highest murder rates, and the number of kidnappings have risen sharply in recent years.

      Seems like a few of King Hugo's citizens don't share his view of everyone sharing the wealth...

      What's the difference between Trujillo and Chavez? Trujillo killed 500,000 his own people but still was a valued friend of this country. Chavez killed none, but he dispossessed US Big Oil.

      Odd, isn't it, Mexico borders OUR country but we do NOTHING to help the PEOPLE.
      Pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan and Deal with Mexico. Oh but it is okay for the genocide going on there by the Cartels and I don't even like Illegals, but maybe some of them are Fleeing and others being SOLD by the cartels (Like little girls). How about we turn our focus on the corrupt Mexican government which everyone with a brain knows has been going on for years and the corrupt cartels and Al Qaeda that is infiltrating them and South America!

      How about we help the AMERICAN CITIZENS on the borders also being KILLED that the Obama administration does NOT care and sues you if you obey the Federal Immigration law.

        There are several reasons we do nothing about Mexico and the illegals coming across our boarder.

        1. They are a major supplier of oil.

        2. The illegals are a source of cheap labor and agriculture businesses absolutely depend on them. (The jobs americans don't want) like picking lettuce and strawberries. Other businesses like construction prefer cheeper illegal labor so they make more money. The jobs americans want but can't get because they are forced to compete with cheeper labor.

        3. The Democratic party supports illegals and illegal immigration in order to get the mexican vote.

        4. The Mexican government would oppose any intervention in their country and we would look bad in the eyes of the world. The mess there is so big it would cost billions of dollars and thousands of american lives and The American people would riot in the streets.

      Maybe Hugo decided he did not want these people around. Do not be surprised if they disappear.

        Too bad you think like that, friend; nationalities don't really mean anything; it's the individual as a person that counts; not anything else.....

      These are the same type of criminal, verminous worms who sneak into our country! Deport them ALL! If we give amnesty to mexicos parasites in haste we WILL regret it at out leisure! Remember what a failure amnesty was last time? If we dont learn from history we are doomed to repeat it! End this nonsense NOW secure our borders & deport all illegal aliens & make them take thier worthless anchor brats with them!!
