Twelve
killed, 13 injured as Mexican police raid night club
A total of 12
people were killed and thirteen injured when Mexican police
raided a nightclub
 in
the country's capital.
The New Divine club was hosting a party with drinks available
for underage teenagers who were celebrating the end of the
school year.
About 1,000 people were inside the two-storey club when the raid
took place.
Security official Joel Ortega told local television station
Televisa that an official at the nightclub had used a microphone
to inform partygoers that a police operation was underway.
The announcement caused panic which led to partygoers rushing to
the entrance and the emergency exit which were the only ways to
leave the club, according to Ortega.
"Many of the people concentrated at the club's emergency exit,
but it was too small and it was there that people died of
asphyxia," Ortega told the broadcaster.
Police have arrested three employees at the nightclub and 39
others on the charge of disturbing the peace. Tickets to the
party were sold at a price of $3 (£1.50).
