CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico — Gunmen killed 25 people in a series of drug-gang attacks in Ciudad Juarez, marking the deadliest day in more than two years for the Mexican border city, authorities said Friday.
Thursday's toll included 15 people killed when attackers stormed four homes in three hours, said Arturo Sandoval, a spokesman for the Attorney General's Office of Chihuahua state, where Ciudad Juarez is located.
In the worst of those attacks, gunmen burst into a house and killed two young men — then killed four others for being witnesses.
Sandoval said it was the highest single-day murder toll in the city across from El Paso, Texas, since March 2008. He did not give more details of how many died back then, or say what day.
Two graffiti message appeared in Ciudad Juarez threatening Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, the fugitive head of the Sinaloa drug cartel.
"You are killing our sons. You already did, and now we are going to kill your families," one sign read.
Ciudad Juarez, with a population of 1.3 million, has become one of the world's most dangerous cities amid a turf war between the Sinaloa and Juarez cartels.
Violence has continued unabated despite the deployment of thousands of soldiers to the city this year. Federal police, including a special investigative unit, later took over security in the city as part of a new strategy announced by President Felipe Calderon.

CIUDAD JUAREZ?I thought it said CHICAGO JUAREZ.
And they think they deserve our land. Look what the Mexican nation has done with it’s own. I am so over Mexico.
Death squads, expanding poor, abuse at the hands of it’s government and criminals, little opportunity unless it’s to flee northward...
What a fricken hell hole.
If this had happened just a few miles to the north, Holder’s boys and girls would be a bunch of busy little beavers investigating a “hate crime” right now. The bright side would be that they might back off their assault on Arizona for a while.
How many Americans were killed by Mexicans today?
Coming soon to a US town near you...if the Illegal Alien Amnesty supporters have their way....
I’d just as soon erect a huge concrete wall along the border and let them stew in their own juices. I would rather visit Tehran than Mexico.
I knew I SHOULD HAVE NEVER VOTED FOR A POS DRAFT DODGER!
hARSH POST TO FOLLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Los Angeles Police Department has identified seven different Mexican cartels operating in LA. It is too late. We have been colonized by the Mexican war lords.
