Tracy Wilkinson/LAT: More than two dozen die amid Mexico violence:
In a separate incident, Miguel Angel Villagomez, the editor and publisher of La Noticia, a daily newspaper in the state of Michoacan, was found dead Friday morning with three gunshots to his body. . . Francisco Rivera, deputy editor, said the paper recently published photographs of banners that had appeared in the city, purportedly the work of drug traffickers, and that might have been the reason Villagomez was targeted. .. "We don't see any other motive," Rivera said in a telephone interview.
