21 dead in clash between Mexican army, drug gang
21 dead in clash between Mexican army, drug gang

Mexico has deployed 36,000 troops to fight drug cartels
At least 21 people have been killed in a fight between gunmen and Mexico's army after gang members kidnapped nine people in the state of Chihuahua.
The gunmen murdered six of the hostages while the Mexican soldiers killed fourteen gangsters on Tuesday, AFP reported.
At least one army soldier was killed in the gunfight.
The accident took place in the town of Villa Ahumada in the northern territories where Mexico's drug cartels have carried out deadly attacks recently, killing more than 220 people in separate clashes.
Mexico's bloody drug war killed around 5,300 in 2008 despite the government's campaign to crack down on the gang members.
Analysts blame corrupt elements in the police and government for the crime wave in Mexico.
