This sounds a little fishy. It looks like Mr. Mourino was a "rising star" in the political scene and was in the middle of an extended battle with Mexican drug smuggling. The plane crash sounds very reminiscent of the kinds of assassinations carried out by CIA jackals according to the material from Confessions of an Economic Hit Man in Zeitgeist. Apparently the last Interior Minister (Mexico's "second-ranking" official) before Mourino was a target of an assassination attempt.

The article makes a paper thin claim that there is so far no evidence that there was anything other than an accident but they also say that the cause of the crash is unknown.

What do you all think?
