A Mexican Army detachment encountered several armed suspects and killed three in eastern Nuevo Leon state Monday night, according to Mexican news accounts. The army unit was on patrol on the Allende Cadereyta highway when they were fired on by armed suspects who were travelling aboard a Chevrolet Malibu sedan. The gunfire prompted a vehicle pursuit which lasted for about a kilometer with soldiers continually firing on the suspects. At the end of the pursuit, three armed suspects were dead by army counterfire. The suspects used UZI 9mm submachine guns in their attack. The Allende Cadereyta road which runs north to south is about 20 kilometers due east of Monterrey and has been in the past the scene of several armed confrontations between Mexican security forces and criminal drug gangs. |
