Mexican pirates attack Texas fishermen on lake near border

A report at the link below says Mexican pirates have been preying on boaters on Falcon Lake. The border between the United States and Mexico zigzags through the lake.

Texas Department of Public Safety warned two weeks ago that boaters should steer clear of the international boundary that zigzags through Falcon Lake because "pirates" had robbed fishermen at gunpoint.

On April 30 and again on May 6, heavily armed men robbed fishermen on the Mexican side of Falcon Lake.
