sfgate.com: "Four gunmen were killed by Mexican police in a shootout that led to the release of five kidnapping victims in the western state of Michoacan, authorities said Wednesday.
The suspected criminals had abducted the two women and three minors earlier this month using a fake police car and fake federal police uniforms, federal police said in a statement. Authorities said the men killed had ties to the Knights Templar, an offshoot cartel of pseudo-religious La Familia organization."

And sometimes I simply muse.
