Some 25,000 people have died in drug-related violence after a military campaign against drug cartels was launched by President Felipe Calderon at the end of 2006.

Yet the massacre was obviously related to Mexico's formidable war against drug cartels, and added to the some 28,000 lives already claimed by drug-related violence since President Felipe Calderon launched an anti-drug campaign in December 2006.
The rehabilitation center is located in the same neighborhood where law enforcement officials seized about 105 tons of marijuana last week, which marked the largest drug bust in the country's history, according to the reports.
