MONTERREY, MEXICO (BNO NEWS) -- At least 21 people were killed on Friday night when gunmen attacked a local bar in the northern Mexican state of Nuevo León, El Universal newspaper reported.

Authorities said that unidentified gunmen fired assault rifles at people in the "El Sabino Gordo" bar located in the state's capital, Monterrey. The gunmen arrived in at least three vehicles and two vans and started shooting at customers and employees.

Nuevo León state security spokesman Jorge Domene said that the slaughter was the result of a row between Los Zetas and Gulf cartel. He said that months ago authorities conducted a search at the bar and found drugs.

Meanwhile, in the neighboring state of Coahuila, 10 mutilated bodies were found inside a truck, including the bodies of three women. Shortly after, authorities received reports that human heads were located in different parts of the city.

According to government figures, a total of 15,273 drug-related crimes occurred in Mexico in 2010, while more than 30,000 people have died in drug-related violence since Mexican President Felipe Calderón began his campaign to fight organized crime in December 2006.
