MEXICO CITY (AP) — The Mexican navy says marines patrolling a lake along the border with Texas discovered a drug gang camp on an island, provoking a gunbattle that left 13 people dead.
The navy says one marine and 12 gunmen from the Zetas drug cartel were killed in the gunbattle on the island on Falcon Lake, about 45 miles (70 kilometers) northwest of McAllen, Texas.
The navy said in a statement Monday that the gunmen opened fire when the marines found the camp. The statement said marines seized more than 20 guns, including several assault rifles, after the shooting Sunday.
The statement said the Zetas were smuggling marijuana from the camp into Texas by speedboat.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Soldiers have unearthed 11 more bodies from mass graves in northern Mexico, bringing the rapidly mounting toll from the monthlong search to at least 168.
The graves in Durango state are believed to hold the remains of drug cartel victims, possibly including executed rivals.
The Durango state attorney general’s office said in a statement Monday that the bodies of 10 men and 11 women were recovered over the weekend.
Last month, security forces also discovered 183 bodies in secret graves in the northeastern border state of Tamaulipas.
The so-called narco-graves have been discovered over the past year. Turf battles between drug cartels have claimed the lives of more than 34,600 people in Mexico in the past four years.
