Report: Eight die in fire-bombing of Cancun bar

Eight people were killed early Tuesday after attackers hurled Molotov cocktails into a bar in Cancun, Mexico, according to reports.

The bar is in an area of Cancun not frequented by tourists, well away from the beach hotel zone. Six women and two men, reportedly all Mexican nationals, were killed in the 1:30 a.m. strike.

According to NBC, citing Mexico's Excelsior newspaper, the bar refused to pay extortionists.
