Mexican Internal War

Gunmen in Mexico have killed another top Mexican police official - just one day after the head of the national anti-narcotics effort was shot dead.

Esteban Robles headed the anti-kidnapping unit of the Mexico City police department. He was shot several times outside his home on Friday.

Mexico is attempting to crack down on the drug trade but have had repeated setbacks, at one point forcing a boarder town sheriff to request asylum in the US after his deputies had either been killed or walked off the job.

This happened in Mexico City and may indicate a striking back against the governments push.
