Mexico campaign enters final push

by BBC (reposted)
Mexico's presidential candidates are making a final push for votes ahead of the bitterly contested 2 July election.
Conservative Felipe Calderon ended his campaign in Mexico City, saying his opponent would push Mexico into crisis.

Mr Calderon said Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador would plunge the country into a "horror movie" of debt and division.

Mr Lopez Obrador holds his final rally in the capital on Wednesday, ending a campaign marked by insults on all sides and amid rising violence and tensions.

Eleven people, including four police officers, were killed over the weekend in the southern state of Guerrero, officials said.

'Executions'

The bodies of the officers, who were seized by armed men on Wednesday, were found bound and riddled with bullets, the officials said. A police spokesman said a drug gang was believed to be behind the killings.

Police also found seven bodies in three different locations in the Pacific resort of Acapulco, which is in Guerrero state, on Sunday, just hours before Mr Lopez Obrador was due to hold a rally there.
