A journalists' organization has called on the Mexican government to rescue four journalists believed held hostage by a drug cartel.

The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists said Wednesday news reports indicate that the unidentified cartel has demanded coverage of videos it has made in exchange for releasing the four reporters.

Mexico's National Commission for Human Rights issued a release Tuesday saying that the journalists were abducted Monday in the Laguna region, which includes the state of Durango and parts of neighboring Coahuila state.

That area has been the scene of vicious fighting between the Zetas crime group and the Sinaloa cartel.
