Late on the night of June 19 2009, a group of armed men went to a home in
Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas and kidnapped nine men.

The nine were members of a team from Sinaloa in town to install telephone towers.

Hours after the armed men took the technicians, the attackers returned and took their equipment.

Nextel officials brought the case to the attention of President Felipe Calderon,
but it is still unresolved. The men are gone.
