AP/M.HERALD / O. RODRIGUEZ


ACAPULCO:   Gunmen chased a male target into a home and sprayed the residence with bullets killing two boys, aged six and two, an elderly woman and wounding a young woman.

CANCUN:   Police found four men bound, shot and set on fire in an open field in the outskirts of the city.

AND:     The U.S. government admits it has been flying its drones deep into Mexican territory since last month to track narcos.
   Presidents Obama and Felipe Calderón agreed to continue the surveillance flights on 3 March in Washington.
   The missions have been kept secret because of Mexico's legalities and sensitive sovereignty issues.
