17 musiciens assassinés au Mexique
Les quatorze musiciens du groupe Kombo Kolombia et quatre membres de leur équipe technique avaient été enlevés vendredi alors qu'il répétaient dans un café, pour jouer au cours d'une fête à Hidalgo, au nord du pays.
L'un des musiciens ayant échappé à ses ravisseurs, a conduit la police jusqu'à un puits dans la ville voisine de Mina, où les dix-sept corps ont été retrouvés, dont plusieurs portaient des traces de balles et de torture.
L'État de Nuevo Leon, frontalier des États-Unis, est l'un des plus touchés par la vague de meurtres, d'enlèvements et de racket, liée au trafic de drogue, qui a fait plus de 70.000 morts dans tout le pays depuis 2006, selon le gouvernement.
