New quake hits already shaken Mexico

A 6.1 magnitude earthquake struck Mexico Saturday morning causing alarms to sound in Mexico City, where rescuers continue to look for survivors following Tuesday’s 7.1 magnitude quake that so far has been blamed for nearly 300 deaths. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, Saturday’s quake was centered in the southern state of Oaxaca. The director of Mexico’s disaster agency said it was an aftershock of the 8.1 magnitude quake that struck that region on Sept. 7, killing at least 90 people. The new quake caused buildings in Mexico City to sway and sent people running into the streets. There were no immediate reports of additional damage or injuries resulting from Saturday’s temblor.
