Mexican authorities say a gas explosion has ripped through a house where at least 60 abducted migrants were being held captive in a city on the Texas border, injuring five people.
The government of Tamaulipas state says two of those were gravely injured by yesterday's blast in Reynosa, across from McAllen.
The government says the explosion was caused by an accumulation of gas. Authorities are trying to locate a number of people who ran away after the blast.
Officials say the migrants had been held against their will for a week.
