Two men armed with a machine gun and a handgun opened fire in a bar
on the outskirts of the Mexican tourist resort of Cancun on Thursday,
killing six people and wounding five, the office of the state's attorney
general said.
Cancun, a major tourist destination on Mexico's
Caribbean coast, has largely escaped the drug-related violence that has
racked Acapulco, a faded tourist hot spot on the Pacific coast.
Last
month, six Spanish women were raped by hooded gunmen who forced their
way into the Acapulco beach house the women had rented.
Mexican
President Enrique Pena Nieto has vowed to reduce the violence that
soared after his predecessor, Felipe Calderon, launched an assault on
drug cartels.
