CULIACAN, Mexico — Gunmen killed six people at a bar Saturday in the northern state of Sinaloa, a drug-violence hot spot, state prosecutors said.
At least three gunmen walked into Las Herraduras bar in the resort city of Mazatlan early Saturday and opened fire, killing a customer and two waiters, said Martin Gatelum, spokesman for the Sinaloa state prosecutor's office.
A taxi driver and a night watchman were killed outside the bar, where the assailants also shot to death a hostage who had led them to the bar, Gatelum said.
Sinaloa, Mexico's drug-smuggling heartland, is the birthplace of the leaders of four of the six major cartels.
Illegal Irish group surrenders weapons
DUBLIN — The Irish National Liberation Army, a ruthless IRA splinter group responsible for some of Northern Ireland's most notorious killings, said Saturday it has surrendered its weapons just days before an Anglo-Irish disarmament deadline is due to expire.
Two representatives of the outlawed organization told the Associated Press that the INLA handed over weapons stockpiles to Northern Ireland's disarmament commission at secret meetings in November and January.
The INLA weapons surrender is expected to be confirmed Monday by the Independent International Commission on Decommissioning, an expert panel that Britain and Ireland formed in 1997 to oversee the disarmament of several illegal groups based in the British territory of Northern Ireland.
