News : Kidnap victims tracked by satellite

Wealthy Mexicans are spending thousands of dollars to implant tiny transmitters under their skin so they can be tracked if they're kidnapped.

Soaring abduction rates in Mexico have prompted hundreds of people to invest in a chip which is injected into the body and can be traced via satellite.

Between 2004 and 2007 kidnap rates jumped by almost forty per cent placing Mexico alongside Iraq and Colombia as one of the worst countries for abductions.
