4 Americans kidnapped in Mexico
The Justice Department is "working closely" with the US State Department on the kidnapping of four Americans in northeastern Mexico last week, according to Attorney General Merrick Garland.
Garland said Tuesday that he has been briefed with the FBI "and senior department officials are working closely with our counterparts at the State Department.
”Two of the four kidnapped Americans were found dead and two were found alive, Mexican officials said Tuesday.
A US official familiar with the case previously said that investigators believe a Mexican cartel likely mistook them for Haitian drug smugglers and that the Americans are believed to have been targeted by mistake.

Re: 4 Americans kidnapped in Mexico
The two surviving American citizens kidnapped in Mexico are now in the care of the FBI and have returned to the United States, an official familiar with the investigation said.
The two will receive medical treatment and observations at a hospital in Texas, the source added.
The bodies of the two people who were killed will be examined by Mexican authorities before the remains are turned over to the US government, a source said.
