│ The US issued a security alert and │
│ suspended consular activity in Mexicali │
│ over a cartel attack threat on Aug 25. The │
│ State Department is the source of the alert │
│ and is partially entangled where US │
│ interests are concerned; the reporting is │
│ independent. A foreign mission suspending │
│ services corroborates Mexico's existing │
│ crime-and-safety level rather than moving │
