15 Men Arrested with Ties to "Barbie" Drug Gang
Babelfish translation sux.
My Spanish is rusty but I've cleaned this up a little.
Men with alleged ties to Edgar Valdez Villarreal, alias 'La Barbie', were taken into custody without incident after a confrontation in Amacuza, Morelos, said the Secretariat of Public Security (SSP), which did not mention deaths or injuries.

According to the story, the SSP was still trying to determine if the men were with a faction within the Barbie organization that is tied to Gerald Alvarez Väzquez, 'the Indian' or 'the Chayan.'

The arrested group are alleged to have provided security for drug transactions. Some elements of the group may have knowledge of the December 16, 2009 murder of Arthur Belträn Leyva, alias 'the Beards' in Cuernavaca, Morelos.
This is the other rival faction. In other words, there is a bloody fight going on to consolidate control of the drug trade in parts of Mexico.
Recovered in the arrest operation was one AK-47 rifle, two handguns, two grenades, some tactical equipment and some phones.
The grenades suggest how bad this is going to get.
