BY SILVIA OTERO/EL UNIVERSAL
Mexico - While investigators have yet to reach a conclusion for the helicopter crash that took the lives of 11 soldiers and federal agents last Wednesday, evidence points to drug traffickers, underscoring the increasing dangers for authorities performing anti-drug operations in rural and lawless areas of the nation.
Since President Vicente Fox took office in 2000, 20 helicopters from the Attorney General's Office (PGR) have gone down and 18 of these have been attributed to direct attacks from narco-traffickers.
