Thirteen retirees killed in Mexico

THIRTEEN retirees were shot and killed late Sunday in an execution-style massacre at a Mexican drug rehabilitation centre near the border city of Tijuana, a police official told AFP. The exact reason for the killing was not immediately known but it was apparently linked to a brutal drug war that has claimed thousands of Mexican lives this year. "There were 13 people killed. They were all recuperating drug addicts," said the police official who spoke on condition of anonymity.
