http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Robbers have assaulted and robbed a bus full of federal police officers travelling to resume their duty leaves. The National Security Commission reports that the bus was carrying 29 unarmed officers dressed in civilian clothes Monday night to Mexico City, where they were to be on leave after 25 straight days on duty in the Pacific resort city of Acapulco.
