00:00Three people were killed, one arrested, and two soldiers injured after an armed attack
00:05on the local police in Kuliakan on Saturday, amid an internal war in the Sinaloa cartel
00:11that has left more than 50 dead this month.
00:14Sinaloa's governor, Ruben Rocha, said armed civilians attacked local police who were on
00:19a routine patrol in a bustling area of the state's capital city of Kuliakan.
00:24Members of the National Guard, the army and the police were deployed to the area where
00:29the attackers had taken shelter.
00:31They took down three suspects and arrested another.
00:35Rocha said the situation is under control.
00:38Two rival factions of the powerful Sinaloa cartel have been fighting since September
00:439, a conflict that can be traced to the high-profile arrest on US soil of legendary trafficker
00:50Ismael Elmayo Zambada on July 25.
00:54Zambada alleges he was kidnapped in Mexico and flown to the US by Joaquin Guzman Lopez,
01:00a senior crime boss in a rival faction of the Sinaloa cartel who had been holding talks
01:05with the US about surrendering.
