#1 Yeah right ... a 3-hour battle between cartel hit man and civilians?? Not likely in Mexico. What is more likely that is that some of the sources denying this fight are actually aligned with the Zetas cartel - since they have their fingers into the federal policew all over Mex.

In time, the truth will come out. For mexico, that usually takes a while.

#2 Why engage in a gun battle with a rival gang whose members can shoot back when you can murder unarmed innocent civilians and claim the dead were your rivals?

#3 The gun battle is coming about because the leader of the Knights Templar cartel released a video a few days ago - declaring death on Z-40 (Trevino) who runs the Zetas cartel. Whether they could ever accomplish this - remains to be seen. But they are now on public record as having declared violent action against the Zetas ... so follow-ups on the streets should be expected.
