Ciudad Juarez, Mexico — Mexican police say armed commandos attacked two drug rehabilitation centers in this border city across from El Paso, Texas, killing four people and wounding five.
Municipal police spokesman Adrian Sanchez says the attacks occurred Sunday afternoon. Three were killed in one center and one was killed in another.
Gangs have killed dozens in drug rehabilitation centers in the last two years across Mexico, including nine last summer in Durango in the north and 19 in Chihuahua city, capital of the border state Ciudad Juarez is located.
Cartels run the centers in some cases to recruit addicts, leaving them open to attacks from rivals.
Warring drug cartels have turned Ciudad Juarez into on of the world's most violent cities.
