The central Mexican city of Celaya has become the scene of a brutal turf war between rival drug cartels. These criminal groups have taken advantage of its strategic position at the crossroads for transporting drugs into the United States. Kidnappings, shootouts with police and drive-by killings now occur on an almost daily basis in broad daylight. Nearly 500 people were killed in Celaya last year. The city's police officers (pictured) risk their lives every day and are forced to travel in armoured vehicles. Our France 2 colleagues report, with FRANCE 24's Lauren Bain.

north korea and propangada…you know one has to create fear into others to be feared,,,,but he fails to acknowledge hes dealing with usa,,,,,,,,,saddam said its mothers of war///gadaffi said fathers of war..may ne kim would say grand parents of war looming we are watchign and waiting
Am very sure this North Korean guys wouldn’t make the silly mistakes sadam and gaddafi did, they have the nuclear facilities and equipment and USA know that that’s why they couldn’t attack them all this while, whatever name they gave the war am sure USA would learn a terrible lessons this time around, cos there’s nothing like propaganda on the side of the Koreans and they crazy people to the extent they wouldn’t mind if the whole world will come to end than USA to be victorious, so sit down and relax and watch/expect a lot of casualties like never before
This fat and short president doesn’t know that the era of President Obama has gone and that the new era of a no-nonsense President Trump has begun. North Korea will be reduced to rubble. I only feel sorry for its penury people because this fat and small president will hide in tunnels to avoid being blown away when the fight begins. Someone needs to advise him before it is too late!
We will review and take appropriate action.
