At least six people were killed when attackers armed with guns and grenades raided a bar near Guatemala’s border with Mexico, a Guatemalan governor said today.

Attackers killed at least 29 people – decapitating most of the victims – on a ranch in a part of northern Guatemala plagued by drug cartels.

Tropical Storm Matthew weakened to a tropical depression over the weekend along the coast of Belize, dousing the southern part of the Central American nation and neighbouring Guatemala with rain that caused flooding in coastal areas.
