GUANAJUATO, MEXICO - Armed assailants opened fire in a nightclub in central Mexico in the early hours of Saturday , leaving at least 15 people dead and three others wounded, prosecutors said.
The attack occurred just hours after President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador made a working visit to Guanajuato, where he spoke on Friday about his strategy for putting a stop to fuel theft."We are fighting to bring peace to the country," he told reporters. But the strategy - which included the closing of pipelines from which most of the country's fuel is transported - has caused a backlash, especially when it led to severe gasoline shortages.The market for stolen fuel has also unleashed a turf war between rival gangs, similar to that seen between drug cartels.
