Mexico DF official close US-owned hotel

After a US-owned Mexico City hotel ejected 16 Cuban delegates from its property city officials closed it down until managers would pay a $15,000 fine and correct the violations cited, which included faulty building permits. The move was ostensibly in retaliation for the hotel's violation of Mexico's sovreignty, but DF officials said that other hotels had been shut down for the same building code violations. (Yahoo)
