JUAREZ COPS ORDERED TO STAY IN HOTEL AFTER SLAYINGS

CIUDAD JUAREZ, nexico - Every police officer in the Mexican border city of Ciudad
Juarez has been ordered to leave home and stay in a hotel after the
killing of five officers by a local drug cartel.

The cartel threatened a week ago to kill one policeman a day unless
Police Chief Julian Leyzaola resigns. Juarez Mayor Hector Murguia said
Wednesday that the attacks are a response to toughening police action
against cartels. He said there is no way Ley zaola is stepping down.
