HERMOSILLO, Mexico (AP) - A group of more than 40 armed men abducted and killed four Mexican policemen Wednesday about 20 miles south of the Arizona border, and the anti-kidnapping chief in another northern Mexico state was reportedly kidnapped.
Sonora Gov. Eduardo Bours declined to speculate on a motive for the slaying of the four policemen in his state, but Mexico has seen a wave of attacks on police, military and intelligence officials as the government battles drug trafficking gangs.
The assailants drove in 10 to 15 vehicles into the city of Cananea and detained the police who were in two patrol cars, the Sonora state police said in a news release.
