Mexico Murder Town
One of the poor neighborhoods in Juarez, Mexico, on Tuesday, March 28, 2006.
The sprawling Mexican border town of Ciudad Juarez is home to a legion of maquiladoras (foreign export assembly plants), industrial work, foreign money and desperation that fuel an ongoing mystery that has plagued the town for years.
In the last nine years, more than 300 young women have either been kidnapped or have disappeared. Some are found dead, their bodies dumped and hastily buried outside town, but the vast majority are never heard from again, their families left wondering, assuming the worst.
Organized crime and prostitution are rife, but families keep migrating to the slums of Juarez, hoping to be one of the estimated one million Mexican workers employed at some 3,000 maquiladoras for between $4 and $9 a day.
But the factories, Juarez? proximity to the U.S. border, and the influx of foreigners and U.S. dollars also attract a darker kind of industry.
Drug cartels and prostitution have flourished in Juarez, thriving on Americans who cross the border with relative ease. Money can buy anything on the streets of Juarez, including sex with a young girl for as little as $20 and the silence of corrupt police and officials.
Trying to navigate the layers of crime and corruption behind the mystery of Juarez? disappeared can be deadly, but a handful of hardened human rights groups shoulder the burden. Activists at the Juarez-based Casa Amiga help grieving families cope with their loss and raise awareness about the dangerous risks women take to make a meager living. The group has blanketed the town with the pink crosses that have come to symbolize the missing women. **Germany Out, Israel Out** (FOTO: DUKAS/WORLDPICTURENEWS)

GUNS AT LONDON BANK AS US TROOPS COLLECT MONEY FOR PAY ISSUE
An unusual sight was seen in a London street when a car drew up outside one of the big banks and four American soldiers with revolvers at the ready jumped out and rushed inside. They returned with large bags of money and drove quickly away.
They were an Army Captain and a squad who had come to collect the money to pay US troops. US Army regulations demand that money should always be collected by an armed guard.
