Gunmen in Mexico attack drug rehab centre
An attack on a drug rehabilitation centre in northwestern Mexico has left at least 11 people dead and nine others wounded, according to police…
The assault took place nearly a year after an attack on a similar rehabilitation centre in Torreon, located in Coahuila state, that left 11 people dead and two wounded.
In 2010, five drug rehabilitation centres – all in the north of the country – were attacked.
More than 50,000 people are believed to have been killed in drug-related violence in the Central American country since 2006.
I think this gets a high score for both irony and true capitalism; drug customers get killed for being in drug rehab by (probably) a drug lord’s henchmen.

Some of the victims are ex-drug dealers and the like (probably turning state’s evidence and having to get clean) – that’s why the rehabs are attacked. By the way, Mexico was in NORTH America when I studied American geography. Did it move?
