UPDATE...Mexico prison gang fighting kills 29

At this rate someday there won't be anyone left to kill !
And notice how they never question how the inmates got the guns ? We are talking about assault rifles here !


BBC
A clash between rival gangs in a prison in Mexico's north-western state of Sinaloa has left 29 inmates dead.

The killings brought the number of dead on another day of apparent drug-related violence to more than 40.

In the western state of Michoacan, 12 police officers died in an ambush by suspected drug cartel gunmen.

Michoacan and Sinaloa are home to rival drug gangs that are fighting turf wars and battling security forces.

Officials said 18 inmates had died in the Mazatlan jail in Sinaloa when members of one gang armed with pistols and an assault rifle forced their way into a cell-block holding prisoners from a rival gang and began shooting.

Eleven others had been stabbed to death as fighting broke out in other parts of the prison, they said.
