13 Dead In Mexico's Biggest Tourist Resort

15 Mar 2010
Thirteen people have been killed in an outbreak of drug-related violence in the southern Mexican beach resort of Acapulco. Five of the dead were police officers whose patrol was machine gunned. Eight other bullet-riddled bodies were discovered in different areas around the city - four had been beheaded. Acapulco is one of Mexico's biggest tourist resorts, but in recent years it has been the scene of bloody turf wars between rival drug cartels.
