A gang of 20 armed gangsters killed seven Mexican police
officers in the state of Michoacan over the weekend, Mexican media reported
Sunday.
The attack occurred in Tancitero in central Mexico.
The gangsters first attacked a police car with four police officers, killing
three of them. As four colleagues raced to their aid in a second car, they were
also killed.
The killings were the latest of thousands of murders of
civilians and police officers in Mexico's ongoing wars among the country's drug
cartels who are fighting over the billion-dollar illicit business, dpa reported.
