The Nation : Agent Believed Kidnaped

An agent of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration stationed in Guadalajara, Mexico, has been missing since Thursday and is believed to have been kidnaped by drug traffickers, a DEA spokesman said. Spokesman Robert Feldkamp said the agent, Enrique Salazar Camarena, “left the DEA office shortly after noon Thursday for a luncheon date with his wife and has not been seen since.” He said the DEA learned from a witness that four armed men were seen abducting Camarena and throwing him into a car. Feldkamp said that “this is the first suspected kidnaping of a DEA agent in Mexico.”
