One of Mexico's leading regional newspapers has said it is shutting down temporarily amid continuing attacks and threats from suspected drug gangs. The offices of Cambio Sonora have come under grenade attack twice since April. The newspaper is based in Sonora state, on the U.S. border, which last week saw a battle between drug gangs and security forces that left 22 people dead.
