MEXICO CITY — Seven state officials have been arrested for negligent homicide in a day care fire that killed 47 children in northern Mexico, an official said Monday.

He said arrests warrants have been issued for six other Finance Department officials. “They are employees and officials with the Finance Department who have a direct responsibility for the warehouse where the fire started,” Murrieta said at a ...
Who will compensate Mexico for false swine flu reports?
The swine flu outbreak that has wrecked Mexico's economy may become a case study in reckless journalism. It now turns out that it's not clear whether the H1N1 pandemic originated in Mexico, as first reported, or in the United States. Like most of you, I had taken it for granted that the disease started in Mexico. That's what most press reports said in late April, when we saw the first headlines about this illness. Some radio and cable television presenters called it the "Mexican flu." So earlier this week, I found myself scratching my head when I read in a Pan American ...

Mexico National Cemetary – Least we forget
Throughout the War with Mexico it was the practice of the U.S. Army, following major military engagements, to burythe dead in mass graves on or near the battlefield where they fell. Generally, this task was performed as quickly as possible for one very practical reason: the warm climate in which most of the war was fought hastened decomposition. The bodies of soldiers who died later of their wounds, or from some other cause, were also buried promptly, usually near whichever building was serving as an army hospital at the time. In towns garrisoned by American troops for long periods, burials often ...

US earns Mexico’s gratitude over H1N1 response
H1N1 flu has infected Mexico's relations with China and other countries that have canceled airline flights and halted some trade. But its most prickly neighbor - the United States - now seems like the country's most loyal friend. Mexico is smarting from what it considers discriminatory actions by countries it had considered friendly, insisting the world should be grateful for its open and aggressive efforts to stem the spread of the H1N1 virus. The shutdown of public life cost Mexico $2.2 billion in the first 10 days after the epidemic was announced. The government sent a plane to pick up 70 of ...
