Four Mexican Police Chiefs Are Assassinated, Milenio Reports
Four Mexican Police Chiefs Are Assassinated, Milenio Reports
By Hugh Collins
Aug. 12 (Bloomberg) -- Four police chiefs were assassinated in Mexico yesterday, bringing the number of police killed this year to 270, Milenio reported.
Top police officials were slain in the state of Mexico, north of Mexico City; Chihuahua, near the U.S. border; Quintana Roo in the south of the country; and Michoacan, on the Pacific coast, the Mexico City-based daily reported, without saying where it got the information.
An additional 15 people were killed in the states of Chihuahua, Sinaloa and Mexico, the newspaper said.
Mexico's top police officers are being targeted and killed as drug traffickers retaliate for arrests and record seizures stemming from President Felipe Calderon's crackdown on narcotics gangs.
