Latin American Herald Tribune - Mexico Nabs 17 Suspected Members of Gulf Cartel: "Marines arrested 17 suspected Gulf cartel members in the northeastern state of Tamaulipas, the Mexican navy said Tuesday.
The arrests of the suspects, who were paraded before reporters on Tuesday at the Matamoros Naval Sector base in Tamaulipas, was made possible by “information obtained via naval intelligence work,” the navy said in a statement.
Marines seized 49 rifles, two handguns and 42 vehicles, including several trucks with trailers, automobiles and SUVs from the suspects.
The operation also netted small amounts of cocaine and marijuana, 101,533 rounds of ammunition, six hand grenades, 125 uniforms, 10 helmets, five bullet-proof vests, 31 cell phones, 20 radios and two relay stations.
This is the second mass arrest of Gulf cartel members carried out by marines recently in Tamaulipas, which borders Texas."
