    Police kill 7 gunmen in central Mexico gun battle

    MEXICO CITY (AP) — Seven gunmen are dead following a pre-dawn shootout with police on a highway in the city of Cuernavaca, south of Mexico City.

    A federal police officer is recovering from a gunshot wound to the foot following the confrontation.

    The prosecutors office in the central Mexican state of Morelos says the gunmen belonged to an organized crime gang, but did not say which gang.

    "Organized crime" in Mexico generally refers to drug cartels, and remnants of the Beltran Leyva cartel have been fighting for control of Cuernavaca.

    Prosecutors said the gunmen were traveling in three stolen vehicles when police confronted them early Monday.

      The U.S. should be happy that Mexico is trying to fight the drug problem at all. Mexico has no drug problem. The U.S. has a drug problem. No narco customers in the states means no violence in Mexico. From La Paz Baja CA. Sur

      The only way the police would shoot it out with a cartel in Mexico is if they were not getting their cut.

      Hay Disodude, read my answer to your reply on my post. It is just under yours. Keep in touch, you are interesting at least.
      • disodude 4 mths ago
        OK. Apparently I mistook your earlier comment, as I didn't know all the facts. I WAS assuming your comments were directed at everyone else BUT yourself. A classic example of what happens when we 'assume.' Carry on trooper!... SALUTE!

      You armchair commandos post your ideas on how to fix a very big problem. A lot of you are Racists and/or cowards, hide behind a keyboard and post hate. You are either a part of the problem or a part of the solution, if a part of the problem, sit down, shut up and stay out of the way. If not, get out of your comfort zone and do something to help either in America or Mexico. - - - Before you ask what I am doing about it, I am an American citizen on social security and helping the churches in any way I can. It is not much but I do what ever I can, I burned my car up traveling up and down Mexico taking pastors where they needed to go and now work a little slower as I have to take buses now. I am 70 year old Widower, but I still want to help make a difference. I know you say only a fool would live in Mexico but I love the people they are genuine and am too old to worry about someone killing me. If you still want to post hate about me and the people here, so what, it means nothing anyway. - - - P.S. And No I am not for Gun-Control either I am a Life Time NRA Member, so you need not try to put your assumption between my lines and Maybe if you read this enough times some will get the message.

        From a 70 yr. old armchair commando... You sound pretty hateful yourself! And kudos to you for helping the Mexican pastors. (on a bus now?) But HOW is that helping with the drug cartels in Mexico? Don't get me wrong... Good for you for doing whatever it is you do (on the bus.) I just didn't care for your "hateful" comments about how everyone else is a Racist and/or coward. Check your OWN "hate" while hiding behind YOUR keyboard!

        Kenneth don't pay the racist here to much mind, they are a minority and are all talk. You however, are an example citizen and wish you the best sir!

        Scipio why do you even contend this idiots comments? All he wants is attention,and you are feeding it. It's obvious he was ignored by his parents and now he needs attention. Anchors probably just needs a hug, he's not a bad person. LOL

      If Romney becomes president of the U.S.
      It's not too far fetched to imagine a Whole Lot of Bad things happening in Mexico.
      The question WILL more than likely be, who's going to pay the ransom?
      - OR - will all his relatives get to move into the White House?

      These published articles appear to be strictly for the rednecks and trolls who post nothing practical, intelligent, or original, just HATEHATEHATE. We Americans are 90% of the problem by buying narco gang drugs. We are indirectly responsible for the shootups. Stop buying their drugs, or legalize them and tax them here in the USA, or shut the phack up!
