Gisela Mota, Female Mayor of Temixco, Mexico assassinated within 24 hours of being sworn in - I guess Rahm Emanuel should feel lucky!

SHITHOLE OF MEXICO - Officials say they have killed two people and arrested three others linked to the slaying of a Mexico mayor who had taken office only a day earlier. The state's governor said organized crime was behind the attack.

Gunmen killed Mayor Gisela Mota Saturday at her house in Temixco, one of several cities around Cuernavaca that have been struggling with kidnappings and extortions by organized crime gangs.

Police quickly located a car of presumed assailants who opened fire on officers, the Morelos state government said in a statement.

In a separate car, officials said they found two guns, one of them a semiautomatic, and ski masks.

Three people were detained — a 32-year-old woman, an 18-year-old and a minor. Morelos Attorney General Javier Perez Duron said the suspects have been tied to other crimes, but declined to provide more details.
