Campers Robbed

Prosecutors in western Mexico have arrested two men in a vicious machete attack on a group of campers that wounded three people.

The attorney general's office in western Jalisco state says the two men confessed to attacking the group of more than 20 campers over the weekend and robbing them of money and cellphones.

Those arrested are being charged with raping some of the campers, as well as attempted homicide and other charges.

The office said in a statement late Monday the men said they had been drinking and taking drugs before the attack.

The pair allegedly committed five other robberies in the forested area near the city of Guadalajara, Mexico's second largest.

Campers and hikers have suffered a series of violent assaults in Mexico in recent years.
