Monterrey casino arson attack policeman's family killed
Edited on Fri Sep-16-11 03:44 PM by nadinbrzezinski
Gunmen in northern Mexico have shot dead three relatives of a police officer being held over a deadly arson attack on a casino last month.

The officer's father, stepmother and stepbrother were killed in their home in the city of Monterrey.

Police believe it was an act of revenge by the Zetas drugs cartel, after the officer named gang members allegedly involved in the casino attack.

The blaze killed 52 people and caused revulsion across Mexico.
