A Mexican newspaper office has been subjected to attacks by gunmen on three successive days.
An innocent bystander was killed and two policemen were wounded yesterday when men opened fire on the offices of El Siglo de Torreon in the northern city of Torreon. The federal police officers were guarding the building.
On Tuesday, the paper was attacked by gunmen using automatic rifles who fired at least 30 shots at the building's main door from a car. And on Monday the attackers shot at police guards who escaped injury.
The newspaper's office has been attacked periodically by gunmen since 2009, prompting its owners and editors to halt all investigative journalism.
