Fifteen police officers were killed in the Western Mexican state of Jalisco Monday evening in a clash with suspected drug cartel members.
A further five officers were critically wounded, according to the Guardian, in an attack considered to be the most brutal strike on the police since the deaths of twelve officers in a 2010 ambush.
A police convoy was reportedly driving through the mountains in Jalisco state, home to Mexico's second largest city, Guadalajara, when gunmen hijacked a car, set it on fire, and blocked the road.
They then opened fire with machine guns and grenade launchers, the Guardian said.
