Gunmen kill Mexican mayor near Monterrey

None

Suspected drug hitmen killed the mayor of a town outside Mexico's northern business city of Monterrey on Thursday, the fourth public official slain in little over a month, police said.

 

Mayor Prisciliano Rodriguez was shot and killed by gunmen as he drove to his ranch in his town of Doctor Gonzalez, 30 miles (50 km) east of Monterrey in Nuevo Leon state, an official at the attorney general's office said. (Reuters)
