A group of people allegedly linked to at least 60 murders in Nuevo Laredo is arrested.

The arrest happened on Thursday morning after a 30-minute shootout with members of the Mexican military.

According to officials, the suspects were involved in the kidnappings and murders of around 60 people, in some cases to eliminate any witnesses to other crimes, from July of last year up until last week.
