Gunmen Attack Drug Rehab Clinic In Mexico, Kill 10 People

Ciudad Juarez, Mexico (AHN) – Gunmen attacked a rehabilitation clinic for drug addicts in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico Tuesday killing 10 people, including therapists.

Authorities do not know the motive of the 10:15 p.m. attack on the Life Annex treatment center that killed two therapists and eight patients as well as wounding two more, according to Enrique Torres, a spokesman of the government security forces.

Witnesses said the attackers were eight armed men, who fled after the massacre.

The attack was the second directed against a drug rehabilitation clinic in two weeks. The previous attack saw 18 people executed at the back of another clinic.

The latest attack happened despite the presence of some 8,500 troops in Ciudad Juarez, where members of rival drug cartels are in a violent competition for dominance.
