All the cops in town have quit after drug-related attack

Thursday, October 28, 2010


Only in Mexico:
The entire police force of a small northern Mexican town quit after gunmen attacked their recently inaugurated headquarters, according to local reports on Wednesday.

Los Ramones Mayor Santos Salinas said nobody was injured in Monday night's attack, during which gunmen fired more than 1,000 bullets at the building's facade, according to Noroeste newspaper's website. Six grenades, of which three detonated, were also flung at the building, the newspaper reported.

All 14 members of the force reportedly resigned Tuesday. Nobody answered the phones at Salinas' offices, according to The Associated Press.

The new police headquarters had been inaugurated three days earlier.

"Latin Mexico"???? Probably what you meant to say was Latin America, wich is different to Mexico...

...here you have a definition of Mexico (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico) and Latin America (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_America). See the difference?
