On the evening of August 27, 2019, a fire started in a nightclub in Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, Mexico.[1] The fire killed 31 people. It was started by what are believed to be members of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, who blocked its exits.[1]

Attack

It is believed that unidentified members of the Jalisco drug cartel were angered at the bar owner's refusal to pay extortion demands, and burst into the bar at gunpoint.[2] The unknown assailants then locked the doors and other emergency exits of the club and then doused the building with gasoline and set it on fire. Prior to the attack the owner was kidnapped by the same group of individuals.[3]

Early reports of the attacks claimed that the fire had been started by homemade bombs, although it was later recanted.[4]

Victims

Thirty-one people were killed in the attack.[5] Around 24 people died during the initial fire attack and seven more died later in the hospital. Of those dead, there were ten women and sixteen men. Most of those that were killed were Mexican nationals; two of the deceased victims were, however, Filipino sailors on shore leave.[6]

Response

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador stated that the attack "degrades us as a society, as a government, as a nation".[2] The Governor of Veracruz, Cuitláhuac García Jiménez, used Twitter to condemn the attack.[7]

Many were quick to point to the resemblance of a fire started by Los Zetas drug cartel at a casino eight years prior, which killed 52 people in Monterrey, Nuevo León.[4]

Linear network coding

Computer Networking Program In computer networking, linear network coding is a program in which intermediate nodes transmit data from source nodes to sink nodes by means of linear combinations. Linear network coding may be used to improve a network's throughput, efficiency, and scalability, as well as reducing attacks and eavesdropping. The nodes of a network take several packets and combine for transmission. This process may be used to attain the maximum possible information flow in a networ...
