MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico's public security minister, a key figure in the war against drug cartels, was killed on Wednesday when his helicopter went down in mountains near the capital, President Vicente Fox said.
Rescue workers found the burned wreckage of Ramon Martin Huerta's aircraft several hours after contact was lost early into the flight. All nine people on board died, Fox said in a televised address.
