Update on Deaths in Tamaulipas in Mexico
This story provides better details than the flash information from Mexican press reports and Tamaulipas state press releases Rantburg published Sunday.You should see the photo of the bejeweled M1911A1 .45 pistol. Note the "Z" inlaid on the grip. My guess: a gift from the Zetas. An excerpt: The Mexican defense ministry said gunmen attacked soldiers patrolling in Comales on Saturday. At least four gunmen were killed and two soldiers were wounded in the firefight, defense ministry officials said. It remains unclear whether five gunmen were killed, as reported by state police, or four, as reported by the military. Defense officials said soldiers seized seized about nine pounds of marijuana, 15 firearms, a jeweled handgun, two vehicles, three rocket launchers, a grenade launcher, 27 grenades, four rockets and nearly 2,500 rounds of ammunition. Defense officials did not say whether any soldiers were killed or if any gunment were arrested. Posted by: badanov 2010-05-04 |
