The shootout took place in Tampico in Tamaulipas state, which is territory claimed by the Gulf cartel, one of the two most powerful drug gangs in Mexico. The Defense Ministry denied earlier government and media reports that as many as 15 people had been killed in the shootout, but said that at least 10 tons of cocaine had been found in a large truck in the steamy Gulf of Mexico town. The haul was being weighed and could be bigger than initially reported, the army said. Seven men were arrested in the raid, which resulted from a tip that led the soldiers to the traffickers. Those arrested were unloading bales of cocaine from the truck, the army said. Since taking office in December, President Felipe Calderon has deployed thousands of troops across Mexico to go after the dominant Gulf and Sinaloa cartels. Visiting Tamaulipas on Friday, he spoke of his clampdown on the violent and wealthy gangs that smuggle huge amounts of cocaine, amphetamines and marijuana into the United States.

A judge Friday ordered Avila Beltran to stand trial on charges of organized crime, money laundering and conspiracy to traffic drugs. She says she made her money selling clothes and renting houses.

Mexican prosecutors have accused Avila Beltran of being the Sinaloa cartel's liaison with other drug gangs and of facilitating the movement of cocaine from Colombia to Mexico, including 9 tons confiscated from a ship in the Pacific port of Manzanillo in 2002. U. S. Embassy personnel were not immediately able to say what charges Avila Beltran faces in the United States. .

tehran -- Iran's president delivered fiery remarks Friday about Israel and his country's nuclear program on Quds Day, the annual event marking Muslim opposition to the Jewish state's control of Jerusalem. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad used the occasion to criticize Israel's policies and Western laws that bar questioning the Holocaust nickelback latest . He repeated his suggestion that the West relocate Israel's Jewish population to "somewhere in Canada or Alaska. "But the president also lashed out at domestic opponents of Iran's drive toward mastering nuclear technology, which Iranian officials say they want for peaceful purposes only, and warned the West against attacking his country. "Do not make another fake lie out of our nuclear dossier, such as the Holocaust, or an excuse such as Sept someday somehow . 11, to attack Iran," he said in a speech to thousands gathered for Friday prayers in Tehran. Ahmadinejad does not formally command the armed forces or oversee Iran's nuclear program leader of men . They fall under the purview of supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the senior cleric who has been spiritual, political and military leader of Iran for nearly 20 years. But at a time of heightened tension between Washington and Tehran, the firebrand president's mention of both Iran's drive toward uranium enrichment and its long-standing animosity toward Israel in the same speech may set off jitters among diplomats and security officials across the Middle East and the West. Iranian officials typically make incendiary remarks about Israel during Quds Day, which Iran initiated and which has become an occasion of broader support for the Palestinians. Speaking after Ahmadinejad, former President Hashemi Rafsanjani, a powerful political player and cleric, called Israel a "representative of Western colonialism" in the Middle East. "By forming the Israeli entity, the Western colonialists did what they had failed to do during the centuries-old crusade against Islamic nations," said Rafsanjani, considered a moderate and a rival to Ahmadinejad. Both Ahmadinejad and Rafsanjani on Friday called for a referendum on the future of Israel and the Palestinian territories that would include the participation of Palestinians abroad. --daragahiSpecial correspondent Mostaghim reported from Tehran and Times staff writer Daragahi from Beirut. feelin' way too damn good . BOSTON — The Angels watched the sun set in the East on Sunday and the sun rise in the West this morning, the strange day-turned-into-night, night-turned-into-day effect caused by the rare combination of an 8 p. m. EDT game in Fenway Park and a red-eye flight home afterward. But if you think the Angels will feel a little disoriented after flying all night and getting a few hours of sleep before opening a big three-game series against Oakland tonight, imagine how they would have felt had they not whipped Boston, 10-4, Sunday night to take two of three games from the Red Sox. "This is huge," said right-hander John Lackey, who gave up four runs -- three earned -- and nine hits in six bend-but-don't-break innings to improve to 10-6 "A 5 1/2 -hour flight can feel like nine hours if we lost. It's definitely going to be a lot easier after a win. "Some teams would cringe at such a grueling travel schedule before an important series, but these Angels, who remain half a game behind the first-place A's in the American League West, are proving to be a resilient bunch, on a large and small scale. They rebounded from an atrocious three-month start with a major league-best 19-6 July to thrust themselves into the division race after beginning the month with a seven-game deficit. They responded to pleas to acquire an impact bat before today's trading deadline by raising their overall production, with players such as Juan Rivera (. 368, 10 home runs, 24 runs batted in this month), Maicer Izturis (. 375, 21 runs, 13 RBIs in 21 games) and Howie Kendrick (. 474, 10 RBIs in nine games) keying a surge that has included the Angels' hitting . 354 with 42 runs (8. 4 average) in the last five games. And they bounced back from Saturday's gut-wrenching, 11-inning loss, a game in which the Angels blew a three-run, eighth-inning lead, by trashing one of baseball's best pitchers, 13-game winner Curt Schilling, for six runs and 10 hits, including third-inning homers by Orlando Cabrera, Vladimir Guerrero and Rivera, in five innings. "That shows a lot about this team," Lackey said "Extra-inning games are tough.

You put a lot of time and effort into them, and they're a bummer to lose nickelback cd's . This is big. "So was Guerrero's 21st home run of the season and first since July 15, a blast off a hanging split-fingered fastball that was hit so high above and so far beyond the Green Monster in left field it looked as if it might land on the Massachusetts Turnpike. "I've never seen a ball hit that far here," Angels second baseman Adam Kennedy said. Perhaps not as majestic but just as impressive as the Angels' first three-homer inning since Sept too bad . 11 against the Chicago White Sox was the way they responded to Boston's three-run rally in the fifth, which cut the Angels' lead to 6-4. Rivera and Kendrick singled to open the top of the sixth, and Mike Napoli walked to load the bases the long road . A run-scoring single by Chone Figgins, a two-run double by Izturis and Cabrera's sacrifice fly pushed the lead to 10-4. That sealed the win for Lackey, but it came with a few labor pains figured you out . Poor decisions by Kendrick, the neophyte first baseman, and Lackey led to two defensive lapses in the first inning, and the Red Sox mounted numerous threats through five. But Lackey struck out Trot Nixon with runners on second and third to end the third and Mike Lowell with two on to end the fifth, minimizing damage. Brendan Donnelly (two scoreless innings) and Kevin Gregg (scoreless ninth) finished up, and then it was off to the airport. They may feel a little discombobulated when they arrive at Angel Stadium for tonight's game against the A's, "but that's part of baseball, we can't use it as an excuse," Figgins said "It's going to be tough, but we'll play hard We're just going to enjoy this one on the plane tonight . .
