This prompts President Trump to call for a joint war with Mexico on drug cartels.
Gunmen killed nine women and children in the bloodiest attack on Americans in Mexico for years, prompting US President Donald Trump to offer to help the neighbouring country wipe out drug cartels believed to be behind the ambush.
"Nita and four of my grandchildren are burnt and shot up," the man says, apparently referring to Rhonita Baron, one of the three women who died in the attack.A relative, Julian LeBaron, called the incident a massacre and said some family members were burned alive., he wrote that four boys, two girls and three women were killed. Several children who fled the attack were lost for hours in the countryside before being found, he said.
Trump has praised Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, his Mexican counterpart who took office 11 months ago, for helping reduce flows of Central American migrants to the United States. The government has registered more than 250,000 homicides in the last dozen years, most of them related to the drug war.
