Ten people died in drug-related violence in northern Mexico amid a massive army crackdown, and six others were killed in bloody attacks in the west of the country, officials said Wednesday.
The killings came just days after US President Barack Obama said that such attacks in Mexico had “gotten out of hand,” as the United States stepped up efforts to stem violence spilling over its southern border. More than 6,400 people have been killed in Mexico alone since January last year.
