At least 18 people have been killed after armed men stormed into a drug treatment centre in northern Mexico's border city of Ciudad Juarez, security officials say.

- The men entered the facility and attacked 23 people, killing 18 and leaving five more wounded, a source in the public security department told the AFP news agency.
- "There could be more bodies," the source said.
- He said the dead were found near a small area of an entranceway to the centre.
- Ciudad Juarez, just across the border from El Paso, Texas, is the bloodiest stage for an ongoing turf war between Mexican drug cartels battling for the right to control the trafficking of drugs across the northern border.
- The US is the world's largest market for cocaine and marijuana.
- Last year in a similar attack, eight people were killed at a Mexican clinic that treats drug addicts.
