[Breitbart] The ongoing violence between cartel fighters and Mexican authorities in Nuevo Laredo led to 12 gunmen dying within a 24-hour span this week.
The most recent battle took place in Nuevo Laredo Wednesday morning when a group from the Cartel Del Noreste (CDN) faction of Los Zetas attacked a Mexican Army fort, leading to a shootout that killed five gunmen.
The CDN men were all wearing military-style uniforms and carried high-powered weapons. They were part of the organization’s "Tropa Del Diablo or Devil’s Troops," tasked with keeping rival cartels at bay and clashing with authorities. |
