MEXICO CITY, Mexico (CNN) -- A series of coordinated attacks in at least seven Mexican cities killed three federal police officers and two soldiers Saturday in what officials are calling an unprecedented onslaught by drug gangs, reports said.
In addition, six police officers were reportedly wounded.
The attacks reportedly were in retribution for the capture of a member of the drug gang La Familia Michoacana last night.
The detainee is said to be among a key figure in the group, which the Mexican government considers one of the most dangerous in the country.
Men armed with high-powered rifles and grenades launched the attacks in the cities of Morelia, Zitacuaro, Zamora, Lazaro Cardenas, Apatzingan, La Piedad and Huetamo in Michoacán state, the government-run Notimex news agency said.
The three officers were killed in Zitacuaro, police official Eduardo Moran told CNN en Español.
The two soldiers were killed in Zamora, the newspaper El Universal reported on its Web site. The six officers were wounded in Morelia, the newspaper said.
You said it all . I was just wondering why we haven't heard about anything going on there. I hate our media pukes.

It is ironic that citizens will fight their government to ensure the right to make a high profit but not for personal freedom or liberty.

Is this a joke? I could have done more damage than that after a full bottle of tequila - and I'm a girl!
Doesn't anyone else see anything wrong with this picture? More lies from the propaganda machine in my opinion.
