25 killed in blast at Mexican oil company

 

MEXICO CITY -- Rescuers searched for survivors and authorities promised a thorough investigation after an office building blast killed 25 people and injured 101 at the headquarters of Mexico's state-owned oil company, Petroleos Mexicanos.

Police officers patrol a makeshift altar past at the site where the bodies of Shumashi Mendoza and her daughter were found at a park on the hilltop borough of Iztapalapa, Mexico City, Tuesday, Jan. 8, 2013. The fatal mauling of four people by feral dogs in a Mexico City park set off debate Tuesday about the city's love/hate relationship with its dog population, and the guilt or innocence of 25 animals trapped near the scene of the nightmarish killings.

Wild Mexican dogs kill 5th victim, 15-year-old girl

MEXICO CITY — A 15-year-old girl found fatally bitten by dogs outside a Mexico City park in mid-December may have been the first victim of a feral pack suspected of killing at least four other people over the last month, prosecutors said Wednesday.

Authorities began capturing dogs in the park this week after a mother and her infant boy were found dead and covered in dog bites on Dec. 29 and the bodies of a teenage couple were found covered in fatal bites from as many as 10 dogs a week later.
