At Least 46 Killed Over Bloody Mexico Weekend -- Yahoo News/AFP
CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (AFP) – A spasm of bloodletting by drug gangs claimed at least 46 lives over a long weekend in Mexico, including at least 16 young people gunned down at a high school party, officials said.

Most of the 16 or more victims were youths, according to José Reyes, mayor of the city of 1.3 million inhabitants just across the border from El Paso, Texas.
