Report: Gunmen Target Tourists In Baja Calif.

LOS ANGELES (AP) ― Well-armed masked bandits have been attacking tourists in Baja California.   

The Los Angeles Times says at least seven attacks have been reported in recent months. An Encinitas woman says she was sexually assaulted in front of her boyfriend during an assault in October.



An El Cajon family says nearly a dozen men held them hostage last month in a carjacking. They finally crossed back into the US with just the clothes on their back.   

US officials say they're not sure if the attacks are a trend but note the border area has long been listed as a place where tourists need to be careful.



Meanwhile, Tijuana's new mayor is promising to create a special police force to patrol the coastal highway and keep tourists safe.
