Earthquake hits southern Mexico
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/8021545.stm
A strong earthquake has struck south of Mexico's capital, Mexico City, causing buildings to shake and prompting workers to rush out on to the streets.
The quake had a magnitude of 6.0, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS).
The USGS said the quake had hit 240km (150 miles) south of the capital at a depth of 40km.
Mexico is currently battling an outbreak of the swine flu virus, which has claimed as many as 149 lives there.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or structural damage caused by the earthquake.
It struck at about 1145 local time (1645 GMT) and was centred near the southern city of Chilpancingo.
"I'm scared," Sarai Luna Pajas, a 22-year-old Mexico City resident, told the AP news agency.
"We Mexicans are not used to living with so much fear, but all that is happening - the economic crisis, the illnesses and now this - it feels like the Apocalypse."
