| [Iran Press TV Latest] At least 16 people have been killed in Mexico in drug-related violence despite the government's efforts to clamp down on drug cartel activities. Officials said on Tuesday that six people were killed in a vehicle that was engulfed in flames in the northern border city of Tijuana. "When we put out the flames, we realized that there were six bodies inside," head firefighter Rafael Carillo told AFP. Tijuana is the second most violent Mexican city with more than 400 murders reported in 2009, according to government figures. Another seven people perished overnight in execution-style killings, state of Chihuahua officials said. Three other men were executed in other locations in Chihuahua, the state prosecutor's office said. |
