A civilian, a member of the National Guard, an escaped inmate and five cartel henchmen were among those killed.

Mike Vigil, a former executive at the US Drug Enforcement Administration, described the violence as a"massive black eye" for Mexico's government, adding:"This is going to set an example for the other groups.

Mexico's defence minister Luis Cresencio Sandoval admitted:"It was done hastily, the consequences were not considered, the riskiest part wasn't taken into account." "The family apologises to the people of Sinaloa, and particularly to the people of Culiacan," he said."However many there were, man, no problem, they will help them economically."

Some of the cartel gunmen even turned their fire on to a housing complex where the wives and children of soldiers live, in an effort to show their power and influence.
