A view of the area where 12 people are killed in Monte Largo, Mexico's state of Tabasco February 15, 2009. Suspected drug hitmen killed 12 people, including six children, in the southern state of Tabasco, which until now had escaped the spiraling violence of Mexico's drug war. A group of armed men fired large-caliber guns at three homes in the town of Macuspana, some 20 miles (30 km) from the capital of Villahermosa, killing six children and six adults late on Saturday.
