GUANAJUATO, Mexico (Reuters) - A shootout between suspected drug gang hitmen and Mexican security forces killed at 12 people on Friday, a day after a ruling party candidate in upcoming congressional elections was shot at.
Hitmen opened fire on federal police and soldiers and threw grenades, after officers tried to arrest them in the town of Apaseo el Alto in the normally tranquil central state of Guanajuato, the local attorney general's office said.
The shootout started after a raid on a suspected drug safe house. The operation followed several days of smaller clashes in the state.
State Attorney General Carlos Zamarripa said a dozen hitmen died in the fight that lasted about 20 minutes and left a muddy street strewn with bodies and bullet casings.
"We captured six hitmen and those six confessed that they were members of the Zetas and so were the dead," Zamarripa told reporters, referring to the armed wing of Gulf cartel.
