Gunmen kill 10 patients at Mexico rehab clinic

Things are just way out of control in Jaurez , And there are no signs of Stopping !And with 10,000 troops on the Ground in Jaurez , That is pretty Pitiful !


CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (Reuters) - Suspected drug hitmen have killed 10 patients in a Mexican rehabilitation clinic, the second such attack this month in the city of Ciudad Juarez on the U.S. border, authorities said on Wednesday.

Drug gangs have targeted rehab clinics in the manufacturing city across from El Paso, Texas, accusing them of protecting dealers from rival gangs.

State attorney spokesman Vladimir Tuexi said the victims, nine men and one woman, were killed late on Tuesday as they finished praying before going to bed.

A similar attack took place in Ciudad Juarez, in the northern state of Chihuahua, earlier in September, when hooded gunmen killed 17 patients at another clinic, one of the deadliest assaults during President Felipe Calderon's three-year war against drug cartels.

Ciudad Juarez is the battleground for the feuding Juarez cartel and drug smugglers loyal to Joaquin "Shorty" Guzman, the head of the Sinaloa cartel and Mexico's most-wanted man.

The city's streets are constantly patrolled by 10,000 troops and federal police.
