Gunmen kill 17 at Mexican drug rehab centre
Gunmen broke into a drug rehabilitation centre, lined people against a wall and shot 17 dead in a particularly bloody day in Mexico’s relentless drug war. The brazen attack followed the killing of the No. 2 security official in President Felipe Calderon’s home state.
The attackers broke down the door of El Aliviane centre in Ciudad Juarez yesterday, lined up their victims against a wall and opened fire, said Arturo Sandoval, a spokesman for the regional prosecutors’ office. At least five people were injured.
