Mexico City – A gang of suspected kidnappers arrested by Mexican marines had detailed plans of security arrangements for next week’s United Nations climate change talks in Cancun, the Milenio newspaper reported.
The heavily armed men had maps, photographs of the Moon Palace hotel scheduled to host the event, as well as the location of police and army security checkpoints, the paper said on its website.
Environment ministers from almost 200 countries will gather in Cancun from Nov. 29 to Dec. 10 to try to toughen the world’s response to climate change.
Mexico is battling a crime wave touched off by a drug war that has pushed some drug cartels into other crimes such as kidnapping and extortion.
Kidnapping is an increasing problem in Mexico where business owners and executives have been targeted along with ordinary people.
