MEXICO CITY - President Felipe Calderon replaced his domestic security chief on Wednesday with a young, Spanish-born and U.S.-educated aide who led his 2006 campaign effort.
Juan Camilo Mourino took over as interior secretary, replacing Francisco Ramirez Acuna, who stepped down amid an upsurge in drug-fueled killings and criticism that he has cracked down on opposition protests. He said he was resigning to "pursue personal activities."
