Killings of 2 Mexican mayors spur call for stepped up security
(CNN)One man died in a hail of bullets as he traveled in the dark of night, flanked by bodyguards.
Another was shot dead in broad daylight as he met with people in a town square.
The Saturday slayings took place hundreds of miles apart and were apparently unrelated. But both victims -- Ambrosio Soto Duarte and Domingo Lopez Gonzalez -- had the same job titles: They were mayors of towns in Mexico.
Authorities say both killings are being investigated. But a group representing Mexico's mayors isn't waiting for more details about the attacks before it calls on government officials to take action.

Of the two killings, the one in the Southern State of Chiapas could have been about tensions in the semi-civil war there. That's a bit of a step up from the usual organized crime cartel violence. That is what the killing in Guerrero sounds like. Guerrero is where Acapulco is I believe. Another article was posted on that state. Both states are largely in the South of Mexico.
