Cartel gunmen killed 11 people in and around Monterrey today in another bloody manifestation of the escalating turf war for control over Mexico's business capital.

The killings come in the wake of a weekend wave of violence that killed more than 40 people across Mexico, including 21 people gunned down in a nightclub attack in Monterrey.

Mexican officials blamed the Monterrey violence on a bloody conflict between the powerful Gulf Cartel and their former enforcement arm, Los Zetas. According to the Wall Street Journal, the club is a well-known retail drug distribution center for Los Zetas; gunmen were most likely members of the Gulf Cartel.
