Mexico: Soldiers Kill 6 Gunmen in Northern Mexico

Mexico City (AP) -- Mexico's Defense Department says
soldiers killed six assailants in a clash in the northern state
of Tamaulipas, across the border from Texas.
The Defense Department statement indicates troops were
headed to inspect a ranch in the municipality of Gustavo Diaz
Ordaz when gunmen opened fire and the soldiers responded,
killing six.
Soldiers have also seized 24 assault rifles, five grenades,
two grenade launchers and three bulletproof cars.
The federal government last month announced major
offensives in Tamaulipas and neighboring Nuevo Leon state to
combat a surge in violence resulting from a split earlier this
year between the Zetas paramilitary organization and the Gulf
drug cartel.
In Cancun, police said they found the bodies of three men
Tuesday morning who had been shot to death in neighborhoods far
