Yahoo News/Associated Press:
8 suspects killed in clash with Mexican soldiers
Eight suspected drug gang gunmen died in a battle with Mexican soldiers in the remote mountains of northern Chihuahua state, the federal Public Safety Department said Thursday.
The department cited an internal army report saying the clash occurred near the rural town of Madera, about 145 miles (230 kilometers) south of the U.S. border.
The gunmen apparently opened fire on an army patrol, but the Defense Department did not offer any information on the attack or the identity of the attackers. The area is frequently used by gangs to produce and traffic drugs.
Nice to see that the Mexican military has the operating authority to take action. I wish our military had the same -- that would send the proper message and the hemorrhage of illegals into our country would slow down a bit...
