Mexico City 12 men killed, likely drug-gang victims The bodies of 12 men killed by hitmen believed linked to drug gangs were found yesterday in the northern state of Sinaloa, in what appears to be one of the deadliest one-day tolls in violent drug battles in recent years. The victims - all apparently executed by close-range gunshots - turned up along an 80-mile stretch of highway between the state capital, Culiacan, and the well-known beach resort of Mazatlan. Authorities say the Sinaloa cartel, led by reputed drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman in alliance with Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, has been waging bloody turf battles against Mexico's Gulf and Tijuana drug cartels. Most of those deaths in that turf war had been concentrated along the eastern flank of the U.S.-Mexico border, in border cities such as Matamoros and Nuevo Laredo, so the new killings may indicate that rival gangs have brought the territorial war to the Sinaloa gang's home turf on Mexico's western coast.
