US Mormon children killed in Mexico attack
At least five US citizens, a mother and four children, have been killed in a violent attack by suspected drug cartel gunmen in northern Mexico.
The victims are said to be members of the LeBaron family, linked to a breakaway Mormon community which settled in Mexico several decades ago.
Video of the scene shows a burnt-out car. Some victims may have burned alive and several more people are missing.
Local media say the attack could have been a case of mistaken identity.
LeBaron family members were quoted as saying a group of three mothers and their 14 children had set off in a convoy of cars from Bavispe in Sonora state and were heading to La Mora in the neighbouring state of Chihuahua.
