Mexico mayor assassinated one day after taking office
Cuernavaca, Mexico -- Several gunmen burst into the home of a newly elected Mexican mayor and shot her dead on Saturday, just hours into her tenure, police said.

Gisela Mota, 33, a left-of-center former member of Congress, was gunned down barely 24 hours after taking her oath of office in the city of Temixco, which is about 90 kilometers (55 miles) from the capital Mexico City. Temixco is plagued by organized crime and rampant drug trafficking -- problems the slain mayor had vowed to help clean up.

The government of central Morelos state said that two of the suspected gunmen had been killed and one was in custody. State Governor Graco Ramirez pledged there would be "no impunity."
Sure. Now then, who wants to be the new mayor?
Morelos has been one of the Mexican states most affected by drug violence plaguing the country, including kidnappings and murders.
