Juarez police leave their homes after 5 are slain (AP)

CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico ? Every police officer in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez has been ordered to leave home and stay in a hotel after the killing of five officers by a local drug cartel.

A local drug cartel threatened a week ago to kill one policeman a day unless Police Chief Julian Leyzaola resigns.

The mayor of Juarez says the attacks carried out since then are a response to police action against drug cartels in the city across from El Paso, Texas. The mayor says there is no way Leyzaola is stepping down.

Juarez police spokesman Adrian Sanchez says officers have been ordered to stay away from their houses because all the attacks happened as officers were going to and from their homes.
