Police in Mexico say they have found 13 bodies piled up at a petrol station in the western state of Michoacan. They said the bodies of 10 adults and three youths had signs of torture and bullet wounds to the head. Officials said threatening messages had been left next to the bodies, indicating that the killing may be related to the settling of scores between rival drug gangs. Michoacan is at the centre of a violent battle between the Familia Michoacana cartel and an offshoot of the same gang, which calls itself the Knights Templar.

The Swiss National Bank has announced that its chairman Philipp Hildebrand is resigning with immediate effect following allegations that he was involved in insider trading. With more details, here's our economics correspondent Andrew Walker.
瑞士国家银行称行长菲利普·希尔德布兰德将尽快辞职,此前曾指控希尔德布兰德涉嫌内部交易。BBC经济记者Andrew Walker报道。
In August last year, Mr Hildebrand's wife converted Swiss francs into dollars. The trade has become so controversial because the central bank subsequently announced that it would cap the value of the Swiss franc. That made the dollars more valuable in local currency. There had been allegations that Mr Hildebrand authorised the August trade himself. He denied that, and says he did not even know about the trade until after it had been executed. But he says he cannot provide conclusive evidence of that and has, therefore, decided to resign.
