    A magnitude 6.1 earthquake struck the state of Oaxaca, Mexico on Saturday, temporarily suspending rescue efforts from an earlier earthquake in Mexico City. People fled buildings as alarms sounded from the quake, which damaged some structures already weakened from Tuesday's magnitude 7.1 quake in Mexico City that killed over 300 people. A bridge also collapsed in Oaxaca from Saturday's shallow tremor.

    Earthquake

    A strong tremor in southern Mexico temporarily suspended the search for


    survivors of this week's powerful earthquake in the capital, Mexico City.

    People ran into the streets as alarms sounded after the magnitude 6.1 quake hit
    the state of Oaxaca, some 520km (323 miles) south of Mexico City.

    Some buildings already damaged and a bridge collapsed in the state.

    Tuesday's quake left at least 305 dead. Hope is fading that more survivors can
    be rescued from the rubble.
    Saturday's earthquake struck near the city of Matias Romero at 07:53 local time
    (12:53 GMT) and was relatively shallow, with a depth of 9km, the US Geological
    Survey said.
