   Mexican  police say gunmen have shot and killed at least 10 recovering
   addicts  at  a  drug rehabilitation center. The killings happened late
   Sunday in Tijuana, near the U.S. border. The motive for the attack was
   not immediately clear.
   Mexican security forces have been engaged in a brutal struggle against
   the  country's  violent  drug  cartels since President Felipe Calderon
   took  office  in 2006. Nearly 30,000 people have been killed since the
   campaign began.
   Last  week,  Mexican  security  forces seized 105 tons of marijuana in
   Tijuana, the largest Mexican drug bust in recent years.

   Some information for this report was provided by AP and AFP.
