Two U.S. Embassy anti-drug instructors were killed with two Mexican agents after their convoy crashed following a drug-lab raid in Chihuahua. Authorities said the lead convoy vehicle skidded off the road and fell into a ravine as the team returned from a major operation. State investigators identified the two Mexican victims as Pedro Roman Oseguera Cervantes and Manuel Genaro Mendez Montes. Officials described the Americans as U.S. Embassy "instructor officers" who were carrying out training tasks as part of bilateral anti-drug cooperation.
