MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican authorities say at least eight people were killed and 11 injured when competing groups of workers clashed at a cement plant before dawn in the central Mexican state of Hidalgo. Gov. Omar Fayad has condemned the violence at the Cruz Azul cement cooperative’s plant in the Tula township. The Hidalgo state public safety agency says emergency calls began coming in early Wednesday from the plant about 60 miles (95 kilometers) north of Mexico City. Authorities only identified those involved as two groups of people, but local media said the clash was related to a long-running leadership dispute at the national cement cooperative.
