MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - A Mexican journalist was shot to death in the northern border city of Ciudad Juarez, authorities said on Friday, the latest victim in a wave of criminal violence that has claimed the lives of at least half a dozen reporters this year.

Arturo Alba, the host of Multimedios television, was shot at least 11 times, according to Chihuahua attorney general Cesar Peniche. Peniche said the motives for the attack were unclear and that he was still awaiting more details of the killing.
