MEXICO.- Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto said Thursday that "every institutional support" will be provided to the effort to track down those responsible for the rapes of six Spanish tourists this week in the Pacific resort city of Acapulco.

The crime "should concern all authorities of the three levels of government," the president said in his first public comment on the case. The Guerrero state AG's Office has jurisdiction over the crime.

Peña Nieto said that on learning of the events in Acapulco, he ordered the Government Secretariat and the federal Attorney General's Office to render "every institutional support that aids the investigations."
