Mexico gunmen kill 13 at Tijuana drugs clinic

Baku, October 27 (AZERTAC). Gunmen in the Mexican city of Tijuana have shot dead 13 people at a drug rehabilitation centre, say police, according to BBC News.

The attack appeared to be connected to the long-running violent conflict between drugs gangs in the country, in which thousands have been killed.

On Saturday, 14 people, most of them teenagers, were shot dead at a party in the border city of Ciudad Juarez.

Last week, police in Tijuana destroyed 134 tons of cannabis - the largest drugs haul ever seized in the country.

The drugs, with an estimated street value of at least $340m, had been wrapped in 15,000 separate packages.

Police in Tijuana, just over the border from San Diego, California, said the latest killings happened when an armed gang burst into the Camino drug treatment centre in the city.

They lined the victims up and shot them with high-powered weapons, El Universal newspaper reported.

Drugs rehabilitation centers have been attacked by gunmen before - observers say the gangs accuse the clinics of protecting rival dealers.

Police also believe drug cartels use the clinics to recruit hitmen and smugglers, threatening to kill those who fail to co-operate.
