CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico  Gunmen killed five bar patrons in drug-plagued Ciudad Juarez, across the border from El Paso, Texas, Mexican officials said Friday.

The Chihuahua state prosecutor's spokesman Vladimir Tuexi said police found the bodies in the Amsterdam bar, in a zone popular with U.S. tourists.

Elsewhere, the Defense Department said two gunmen were killed in separate attacks on soldiers in Guerrero and Tamaulipas states.
