In a tragic incident underscoring escalating cartel violence along the U.S.-Mexico border, 74-year-old Texas rancher Antonio Céspedes Saldierna is killed by a suspected improvised explosive device (IED) earlier this month. The explosion occurs on his ranch in Tamaulipas, Mexico, just south of Brownsville, Texas, also claiming the life of his colleague, Horacio Lopez Peña, and injuring Lopez's wife, Ninfa Griselda Ortega.
