Ten deaths in Mexican state Veracruz

Ten people including four children were killed in violence in the troubled Veracruz region in eastern Mexico last weekend.

In an attack of a armed command in the port city of Coatzacoalcos, two adults and four children were killed. In a restaurant in the city of José Cardel two police officers were killed and two agents injured. In another city, two women came through violence for life.

'The organized crime is responsible for the violence problems in Veracruz,' said Veracruz Governor Miguel Ángel Yunes in a video message. In the region several criminal syndicates fight the power.
