HERMOSILLO, Mexico: A newspaper journalist was abducted by several men in the Mexican City of Agua Prieta, over the border from Douglas, Arizona, police said.

Saul Noe Martinez Ortega, an editor of the Interdiario de Agua Prieta, was forced into a car and driven away from the center of the city on Monday, said Jose Larrinaga, a spokesman for Sonora state police.

Police did not immediately know the motive for the abduction, he said.

Press groups say Mexico has become the most dangerous place to work in the Western hemisphere because of the threat of violent drug gangs.
