Death in Durango: 7 die in intergang shootout
2011-02-15
For a map, click here. For a map of Durango click here Definitely Sinaloa drug gang and probably Los Zetas were the combatants.
Seven individuals were killed in an apparent intergang firefight in a remote community in far southwestern Durango, say Mexican news reports.

Reports say the gunfight took place in the village of San Manuel in the El Mezquital municipality.

The gunfight takes place almost two months after an armed group burned the village of Tierra Colorada to the ground after residents refused to turn their land over for the growing of drugs. Tierra Colorada is also in the El Mezquital municipality.

See here for the archived report of the Tierra Colorada attack. Click here for a report of the Otaezx intergang shootout last October which killed 14.

San Manuel is about 25 kilometers from Tierra Colorada.
