| [Iran Press TV Latest] Drug-related violence has left 13 people dead in the Mexican resort city of Acapulco, including four civilians whose bodies were decapitated and five police. Two bodies of men who had been decapitated were found overnight on Scenic Avenue in the downtown area and the other two were found near a small village west of the town on Saturday, AFP reported. The five police officers were shot to death by gunmen in nearby Tulchingo. The states of Guerrero and neighboring Michoacan are largely under the control of the vicious "La Familia" drug cartel, one of the most powerful trafficking groups in the country. Rival drug cartels are fighting deadly battles over lucrative drug routes to the north into the United States. Drug-related crime has left more than 15,000 dead over the past three years in Mexico, despite a nationwide clampdown on the growing violence involving the deployment of some 50,000 government troops. |
