MEXICO CITY, (APP/AFP) – Authorities killed at
least 10 criminal suspects in northern Mexico on Sunday as their gang blocked roads with burning vehicles in a bid to thwart the anti-drug cartel operation.
Soldiers, federal police and marines took part in the pre-dawn
operation in Reynosa, a city bordering the United States that has been the scene of turf wars over control of drug trafficking routes for years.
Marines clashed with criminals who were moving in a sport-utility
vehicle on an avenue, leaving four suspects dead, the Tamaulipas state security task force said in a statement.
The first clash prompted criminals to hijack cars, trucks and public
transport buses, which they set on fire to block various roads — a common
tactic used by gangs in Tamaulipas to prevent arrests.
Other gunfights erupted in the city, leaving six suspects dead in two
other parts of Reynosa, the statement said.
