Mexican Drug Cartels are Taking On the Military
Posted on: May 14th, 2007“On May 7th, 2007, an Army unit was sent to a crowded city center, in tanks and Humvees. The soldiers were sent to capture a group of wanted individuals who holed up inside a house. They cordoned off a nearly five-block area, to prevent anyone outside from going in the area, and anyone inside from escaping.
But the people in the house refused to surrender, and they were well armed. A two-hour gun battle ensued, as the soldiers’ foes fought back by tossing grenades and firing bursts of AK-47 rounds.”
