2 arrests made in deadly Mexico attacks on policePosted: 11:01 AM ET
MEXICO CITY, Mexico (CNN) - Two suspects have been arrested in this weekend's coordinated attacks in at least eight Mexican cities that killed three federal police and two soldiers, federal authorities said. One attacker was killed in Sunday's shootout with police in Michoacan state, said the federal Secretariat for Public Security. In addition to the five deaths Saturday, eight federal officers were wounded, the state-run Notimex news agency reported, citing federal police official Rodolfo Cruz Lopez. The attacks were in retribution for the capture early Saturday of Arnoldo Rueda Medina, a high-ranking member of La Familia Michoacan drug cartel, Cruz said. |
