MEXICA MAYOR SLAUGHTERED
A mayor-elect from the Mexican state of Veracruz was kidnapped and killed along with two companions on Monday, local media reported.
The reports did not link the killings to the violence sweeping Mexico as the government fights powerful drug cartels. Several mayors and other elected officials have been targeted by drug gangs in recent months. (Reuters)
