Mexico City: woman in blond wig disguise shoots two Israeli men to death

Woman claimed killings were a crime of passion, but prosecutors say international 'criminal groups' were involved

A woman disguised in a blond wig shot to death two Israeli men at a Chinese restaurant in an upscale Mexico City shopping mall, in what appears to be an assassination carried out by an organized crime hit squad.

The alleged assailant was quickly arrested and claimed the double murder was a crime of passion - but authorities said on Thursday that both victims were well-known figures in the Israeli underworld.
