Mexican security forces say they have killed 19 people in a seven-hour gun battle in the country's north-east.

The soldiers say they returned fire when attacked at an illegal roadblock 100km (62 miles) east of Monterrey.

Nine of the alleged gunmen died at the roadblock, eight during a car chase which followed, and two were killed at a local ranch where they sought refuge...


An army official told the AFP news agency that the security forces had received a tip-off about a fake roadblock through an anonymous telephone call.

He said that the people manning the roadblock had been wearing uniforms.
