It declined to provide further details about their past affiliation with the State Department, citing security and privacy limitations.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are deeply concerned about any act of violence and express our condolences to the victims and their families,&#8221; the consulate said.<\/p>\n<p>The violence marks the latest in a series of brazen attacks in Jalisco.
