Gunman attack family in minivan, kill 6 on Mexican road

ACAPULCO, Mexico — Assailants armed with Kalashnikov rifles shot dead six family members, including three children, as they ambushed a minivan Sunday on a country road in southern Mexico, officials said.

The family was heading home to Mexico City after going to a party in Iguala, about 250 kilometers (155 miles) south of the Mexican capital, said Eduardo Murueta, attorney general of Guerrero state. The assailants attacked the family's Voyager minivan and fled.

Three relatives who survived the attack were treated for injuries at a hospital in Iguala and listed in stable condition, Murueta said.

He said the attack may have been related to a personal dispute or connected to drug trafficking.

Drug-related violence has killed more than 1,000 people across Mexico this year.

"Drug-related violence has killed more than 1,000 people across Mexico this year."

I would venture to guess that the US has exceeded that total for drug-related violence so far this year.

You can’t report this, it happened too close to the USA. It won’t make headlines unless it happened in Iraq and Bush failed to prevent it.
