Mexican army kills 15 suspected drug gang members

The killings are forcing some investors to freeze investment in Mexican factories on the U.S. border and scaring off tourists from beach resorts.

Hmmmm , I wonder why ?

Would you visit Acapulco with your family when they are frequently finding headless bodies everywhere ?

How about visiting any of the border states where almost daily gun battles break out on the streets ?


(Reuters) - Fifteen suspected drug gang members were killed in a shootout with Mexican soldiers on Tuesday in western Mexico in the latest fatal clash between warring cartels and federal forces.

Suspected drug hitmen attacked soldiers who intended to inspect a cartel safe house in the colonial town of Taxco southwest of Mexico City. Soldiers returned fire, killing the assailants in a 40-minute gunfight, the Defense Ministry said in a statement.

The clash followed an ambush by gunmen on a federal police convoy in the western state of Michoacan on Monday that killed 10 officers.
