Eight

8 Mexican law enforcement officers
were killed Saturday in
an attack on a
police convoy transporting an

important drug suspect in
western Mexico. Of the
eight, four were federal
police officers, two federal

investigative agents and two
prison employees. The attackers
escaped in three trucks.
Prisoners in Mexico are

often transported in convoys
of regular SUVs, pickups
or buses accompanied by
heavily armed officers. Despite

the killings a top
lieutenant of the Beltran-
Leyva cartel named Jeronimo
Gamez, and eight other

suspects were delivered successfully
to a prison in
Tepic. Slash your energy bill
