Mexican paramedics rush a man to hospital in Monterrey.

He was injured after an unknown attacker lobbed a grenade into a strip club on Friday, killing at least two people.

Inside, a victim lays on the floor near the bar.

Police arrived on the scene after emergency services and secured the entrance.

Monterrey was once a peaceful oasis for the middle class.

Now authorities say it is in a downward spiral of lawlessness and drugs, a trend President Felipe Calderon has been unable to stop since taking office five years ago.
