Hi,

I came across this news:

"Gangsters killed and beheaded an Internet blogger Wednesday in Nuevo
Laredo, the fourth slaying in the city involving people associated with
social media sites since early September.
..
The victim, identified on social networking sites only by his nickname -
Rascatripas or Belly Scratcher - reportedly helped moderate a site
called En Vivo that posted news of shootouts and other activities of the
Zetas, the narcotics and extortion gang that all but controls the city."

More info here:

The site mentioned (http://www.nuevolaredoenvivo.es.tl/) is promoting
Tor use. It seems the victim used Tor, but the gangsters were able to
identify and kill him anyway...


Regards,

M.
