ONTERREY, Mexico (AFP) – Fourteen people were killed in northern Monterrey, including 11 drug traffickers and a woman passerby in a shootout with police, and two police officers during a prison breakout, state officials said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The firefight between suspected drug traffickers and police lasted "more than 45 minutes," during which a woman was caught in the crossfire, military officials told AFP.<\/p>\n

Two children were also wounded in the head during the shootout, they added.<\/p>\n

In a separate incident on Friday also in Monterrey, gunmen drove a van through the door of a local jail and opened fire, killing two police officers and setting free 23 inmates, the officials said.<\/p>\n

Sixteen of the sprung prisoners were former police officers charged with being in the pay of drug cartels, while the seven remaining inmates were suspected drug traffickers, they said.<\/p>\n

Monterrey, with some 3.7 million people, is Mexico\\\\\\’s third-largest city and has been wracked by drug-related violence as the rest of northern Mexico bordering with the United States.<\/p>\n

President Felipe Calderon has dispatched some 50,000 soldiers and thousands of police in a nationwide clampdown to confront the country\\\\\\’s powerful drug cartels, but has so far failed to stem drug-related violence that has claimed over 14,000 lives in the past three years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
