Mexico gunmen kill American consulate staff

[Twoller]

Note very carefully the details of the "victims" here.

"An American woman working at the consulate in Ciudad Juarez, just over the border from El Paso, Texas, and her U.S. husband ..."

Why is the woman an "American" while her husband is "US"?

"A Mexican man married to another consulate employee ..."

The Mexican man was married to another employee who was ... Mexican? US citizen? What? We'd like to know.

"The U.S. official, who asked not to be identified, said it was not clear if the victims had been specifically targeted, and the motive for the attacks was unknown."

It's hard to see in the article, but this was two different attacks. One car was chased and the other was boxed in. Does this sound like a mistake?

This is how far the rot has spread, right into a US consulate.
