Mexican pirates shoot US jet skier near border on Falcon Lake, Texas - CSMonitor.com

Mexican pirates shoot US jet skier near border on Falcon Lake, Texas - CSMonitor.com: "Mexican pirates after a US jet skier was shot Thursday and his fleeing wife chased onto the US side of a border lake.

The shooting on Falcon Lake, part of the Rio Grande watershed near Zapata, Texas, follows a months-long surge in attacks by drug-cartel-linked pirates on US boaters who have crossed into Mexican waters. It is the first instance in which an American has been hurt.
'Piracy on Falcon Lake is an incredible story, especially when Somali piracy has been so much in the news,' says Robert Chesney, a national security and terrorism expert at the University of Texas School of Law, in Austin. 'It's amazing to think that it's actually happening on the Texas border.'"
