Mexican cartel says sorry for attack on Americans, bodies return to US

The stories surrounding the tragic kidnapping and death (murder) of those Americans in Mexico is yet another reminder of the disastrous health care system in #US and out of control violence in #Mexico.

Imagine of the story was about #Cuba, how do you think the media coverage would have been?

How do you think US police, politicians and talk show hosts would have covered the story and it's aftermath?

This is what #American #capitalism has given to it's citizens and neighboring countries.

Suspected drug cartel members on Thursday handed over five purported henchmen as a would-be apology for the abduction of four Americans in the border city of Matamoros, according to media and a source familiar with the investigation.

Two of the Americans and a Mexican woman died after gunmen opened fire on the U.S. citizens shortly after their arrival in Matamoros on Friday. The four Americans were found on Monday on the edge of the city, by which time two of them were dead.

Mexican officials gave the bodies of the two dead men, identified as Shaeed Woodard and Zindell Brown, to U.S. officials in Matamoros on Thursday afternoon, and they were taken across the border into the U.S., a Reuters witness said.
