Attack in Mexico leaves 22 dead

 

Mexico, August 25, 2011

 

A group of armed men threw grenades at a casino in the Mexican city of Monterrey. There are several people injured and 22 dead.

As stated by witnesses, a man entered the playroom at 15:50 (local time) and threw a grenade over the Casino Royale de Monterrey, killing at least 22 dead and leaving 50 people trapped.

While it was not confirmed the identity of the attackers, it is believed they are involved a network of drug traffickers who “settled scores”. Monterrey is one of the cities that has been badly hit by attacks from drug dealers.
