Officials in Mexico say gunmen have kidnapped a police commander in the eastern state of Veracruz. Raul Espinoza and his bodyguard were abducted while on patrol in the port city of Boca del Rio. The kidnapping comes just a day after 14 people were killed in a shoot-out between security forces and alleged gang members in the state. Local media reports, the kidnappers posed as federal police agents and managed to fool local police, who stopped them twice.
