Mexico: Two Jesuit priests killed in Chihuahua buried in village

The bodies of two Jesuit priests who were killed in the northern Mexican State of Chihuahua have been laid to rest in in Cerocahui village, where a gunman attacked them. The burial, which took place on Monday in the San Francisco Javier church, was led by other Jesuit priests and attended by parishioners who placed flowers on the coffins. The killing of Javier Campos and Joaquin Mora has led to growing criticism of the Mexican government's strategy to curb violence nationwide. The Catholic Church in Mexico is now calling on federal authorities to re-examine the country's security policies.
