Entering the area just past midnight it immediately came under grenade and small arms fire. The ensuing firefight lasted almost six hours killing six armed suspects.

Seized in the aftermath were assault rifles, ammunition and weapons magazines, as well as three vehicles.

#1  Badanov: It needs to be said more often -- thank you for all your work in finding and putting out these articles on the "secret" war in Mexico. At least, "secret" as far as the utter lack of coverage in the US MSM.

Strange as it may seem, this puts you on nearly the same, exclusive level as Michael Yon. Less actually getting shot at, of course.

William Randolf Hearst must be rolling over in his grave, thinking of all the newspapers he could sell with an honest to god war in Mexico. Yet these MSM boogers couldn't care less.
