The unit was on patrol in the town at about 2200 hrs when it came under small arms fire. Army return fire killed three. An unspecified number of weapons, ammunition and tactical gear were seized following the gunfight. Linares is on the extreme east side of Nuevo Leon near the Tamaulipas border astride the Monterrey to Ciudad Victoria highway. The area has in the past been used by Mexican drug gangs as bases of operations for highway robbery and for kidnapping. Last May, the area was also the scene of intergang warfare between Los Zetas criminal gang and groups associated with the Gulf Cartel. Posted by: badanov 2011-12-11 |
