Prosecutor: Killings of Canadians in Mexico due to gang debt

MEXICO CITY (AP) — A prosecutor in Mexico says the killing of two Canadians at a Caribbean coast resort last week was motivated by debts between international criminal organizations apparently dedicated to drug and weapons trafficking. The chief prosecutor of Quintana Roo state said Tuesday that the attack had been planned for almost a month. Oscar Montes says a first group of assassins abandoned the job because there was too much security, so a second assassin flew in to carry out the killing, which also wounded another Canadian. On Friday, prosecutors said both dead men had criminal records in Canada.
