Mexico’s President Calderon has declared three days of mourning and his government is offering a $2.4 million reward for information leading to those behind a casino attack which killed over 50.

US President Barack Obama condemned the attack, reinforcing his commitment to helping Mexico combat criminal groups. Correspondent Franc Contreras is in Monterrey.
