Mexico police kill 4 gunmen, rescue kidnap victims

Mexico police kill 4 gunmen, rescue kidnap victims

15 September 2011 04:50 (UTC +04:00)

Baku-APA. Police says they have killed four gunmen in a shootout that led to the release of five kidnapping victims in the western state of Michoacan, APA reports quoting Associated Press.

Federal police in Mexico say the alleged criminals had abducted the two women and three minors earlier this month using a fake police car and fake and fake federal police uniforms.

A police statement Wednesday said the men killed had ties to the Knights Templar, an offshoot cartel of pseudo-religious La Familia organization. Police said they used the fake police car to commit several crimes in the state.

The two cartels are now feuding in Michoacan state causing an escalation of violence there.
