Calderon: Mexico casino fire deaths ‘act of terrorism’
52 people were burned alive today in an arson attack at a Mexican casino. Security cameras captured the arrival of a dozen gangsters shortly before the outbreak of the fire. This is the third attack on casinos in northern Mexico this month; the two previous attacks are attributed to drug gangs, and a narcotics cartel is suspected in today's slaughter. Mexico is embroiled in a bloody drug war between government forces and criminal organizations that has killed an estimated 39,000 people since December of 2006.
