Police are increasing the number of officers at popular tourist areas in San Juan to reassure visitors the area remains safe. The action comes in the wake of reports of a rising homicide rate: 607 killings have been reported so far this year, 101 more than in the same period last year. Most of the killings are drug related and tourists are rarely targeted. -- AP
