Gunmen who held 42 people hostage at a Mexican bank in the Pacific coast city of Los Mochis last week got away with about $52,000, the government newspaper El Nacional reported. Neither police nor bank officials have confirmed the amount taken. About 1,000 police and other security personnel are searching for the seven assailants, believed to have fled into the mountains, police officials said. Five people were killed and 15 were wounded in the 24-hour takeover of the National Bank of Mexico branch that ended Thursday.
