Police raid Mexico City neighborhood

MEXICO CITY -- Nearly 1,000 police and federal agents tore through a town outside Mexico City, smashing gates and breaking down doors in a hunt for the leaders of a vigilante mob that burned two federal agents to death.

The killings have shocked and horrified Mexico, all the more so because they were captured by news cameras, then broadcast on all major networks. A young man, his face bloody and swollen, can be seen struggling to tell a television reporter that he is an undercover federal agent. Then a mob pours gasoline on him and a fellow officer and sets them ablaze.

The chilling images put a spotlight on growing vigilante justice in Mexico, where police are viewed as inept at best and corrupt at worst and where many people say they must take security into their own hands as crime soars.

With helicopters thundering overhead, a long convoy of government vehicles moved in on San Juan Ixtayopan around dusk Wednesday, bearing 600 members of the Mexican FBI and 300 municipal police officers. They wore bulletproof vests and carried machine guns and huge shields. Within minutes, the forces had sealed off streets and were mounting a house-to-house search for the mob leaders.
