Kidnappings in Mexico have dropped by 18 percent and murders by 7 percent since governors, mayors and federal officials signed a national security accord to battle rising crime in August, officials said Friday. The average number of kidnappings fell to about 72 a month since the deal was signed, down from more than 90 per month in the first eight months of the year, according to data presented by public security system chief Monte Alejandro Rubido.
