Mexico cuts ties with Ecuador after embassy storming in Quito

Ecuadoran authorities stormed the Mexican embassy in Quito on Friday to arrest former vice president Jorge Glas, who was taking refuge there, prompting Mexico to sever diplomatic ties after the "violation of international law". The former Ecuadoran vice president -- who served under leftist President Rafael Correa -- sought refuge in the Mexican embassy last December after authorities issued a warrant for his arrest for alleged corruption.
