Many dead in Mexico shooting - Americas - Al Jazeera English: "19 people have been killed and four others injured in the Mexican city of Chihuahua after a group of armed men raided a drug rehabilitation centre, according to police.
The chief of police intelligence of Chihuahua state said at least 20 assailants entered the Faith and Life drug rehabilitation centre late on Thursday.
Chihuahua city, located near the border the US state of Texas, is a hotbed of drugs-related violence where rehabilitation centres have been attacked before.
Shootings at drug-treatment centres have become more common as Mexico's drug cartels and street gangs find themselves at cross-purposes.
Al Jazeera's Mariana Sanchez, reporting from Mexico City, said: 'It's still unknown who is behind the killings but it's highly likely that some cartel members were trying to take revenge. But we still have to see what the investigations will find.
'This isn't the first time for an incident like this to happen. In Ciudad Juarez last September, gunmen entered a rehab centre and killed 17 people."
