Living in Fear: Dealing with the Drug Underworld

Ever since Jesus Blancornelas, cofounder of the newspaper Zeta, printed an exposé of the Arrellano Felix drug cartel, fear has been his constant companion. In this ABC News program, the Blancornelas family talks about living under the constant threat of violent death; three teenagers from the Suburban Hospital Addiction Treatment Center in Bethesda, Maryland, tell their scary stories of trips gone bad and personal injury through drug-related violence; and President Vicente Fox reiterates his strong stance against Mexico’s drug underworld. All agree that wherever there are drugs, fear is never far away. (22 minutes)
