Mexican cartel threatens to kill TV news anchor over ‘unfair’ coverage

Members of Jalisco New Generation cartel circulate video threatening Milenio Television and anchor Azucena Uresti

Masked men claiming to represent Mexico's most powerful drug cartel have taken the unusual step of circulating a video threatening to kill a national television news anchor for what they viewed as unfair coverage.

The video circulated Monday showed masked and heavily armed men surrounding a man seated at a small desk who delivered a message he said was from Ruben Oseguera Cervantes, aka El Mencho," leader of the Jalisco New Generation cartel. It was unclear if the person reading the message was Oseguera himself.
