outside Spanish bar. Two men were gunned down near the entrance of Monaghans bar in Fuengirola in front of horrified ex pats and holidaymakers last night around 11.30pm. Spain's

national police force have confirmed both men were Scottish despite earlier reports the two victims were Irish. A masked gunman is reported to have got out of a car that screeched to a halt

outside the bar before fleeing the scene in the same vehicle drive by an accomplice. The brutal slaying took place as punters were enjoying a drink after watching the Champions League final

on the big screens at the bar. Article continues below Authorities in Spain say the first victim was shot in the chest and the second in the chest and abdomen. The government's

sub-delegate in Malaga Javier Salas has now also confirmed the victim's were both Scottish. Harrowing images from the scene show a man lying lifeless on his back in shorts and a T-shirt

by a drinks and meal blackboard on an outside terrace at the Irish bar. In other disturbing images police and paramedics can be seen surrounding the body of one of the victims, thought to

be the same man, after he was covered under a blanket as shocked locals and holidaymakers looked on. There are no reports yet of any arrests, although police set up roadblocks in the area

after the shooting to try to catch those responsible. Monaghan's bar sits looking onto the beach at the popular Costa Del Sol holiday resort. Earlier the Record told how the bar is

understands the horror gun killings are linked to the ongoing gang wars in Scotland. The killings come amidst a violent gang war that has been raging in Scotland since March. The feud first

erupted following a fallout between rival gangsters after a £500k stash of cocaine was reportedly swiped from under the nose of Dubai-based Mr Big, Ross McGill. The drugs were reportedly

taken by caged Edinburgh kingpin Mark Richardson's foot soldiers sparking a series of violent attacks on homes and businesses. Mr Big, who was later revealed as former Union Bears capo

McGill waged war on Richardson and his associates, including the Daniels crime clan in Glasgow. Mr Big's enforcers, a faceless and frightening group going by the name of Tamo Junto

(TMJ), have carried out a series of fire bombings and other vicious attacks on homes, businesses and cars associated with Richardson. Article continues below We reported earlier this week

that a well-placed source said the Dubai-based Mr Big behind attacks on Daniel targets, Ross McGill, had agreed to end hostilities after being leaned on by cartel bosses in Dubai. However

gangland enforces Tamo Junto (TMJ) quickly quashed any talk of peace as they vowed to continue to carry out the turf war.
