- AP

Gunmen burst into a restaurant and killed the federal police commander for Veracruz and a second officer in another bloody day for the troubled Mexican state. The police officers were among at least 10 people slain in Veracruz state on Saturday, including four children from one family. Veracruz Gov. Miguel Angel Yunes released a video calling the killers “beasts” and “cowards” and repeated his vow to crack down on organized crime in the Gulf coast state. The killing of federal police commission­er Camilo Castagne in Cardel came two days after he had appeared with Yunes at an anti-crime event that was prompted by the discovery of dismembere­d bodies in bags left outside the office of a security official. /
