Gunmen in army-style uniforms attacked police stations and killed seven people in the Mexican resort of Acapulco, despite a military crackdown against violent drug gangs. Local media said men dressed in khaki uniforms and wearing red berets opened fire with automatic weapons at one station, killing three policemen. A man with the assailants filmed the attack with a video camera, the El Universal newspaper said. Hitmen also attacked another station, stripped several agents of their weapons and started shooting, killing a secretary, two police officers, and a public prosecutor.
President Felipe Calderon called an emergency meeting with his security cabinet to discuss the attacks. Local government officials were not immediately available for comment. |
