Mexican drug lord claims attack was aimed at him

MEXICO CITY (AP) — In a video posted on social media, a man claiming to be a Mexican drug cartel leader says an attack that killed 20 people including a mayor was in fact aimed at him. Authorities in Mexico said Friday they are investigating the video attributed to José Alfredo Hurtado, a leader of the Familia Michoacana cartel. In the video, the man talks about narrowly escaping the attack Wednesday in the town of San Miguel Totolapan. Hurtado mentions that he had cooperated in the past with the deceased mayor in fighting the Tequileros gang, which claimed responsibility for the killings.
