Seven policemen have been killed and four injured in Mexico\'s latest incident of drug-related violence.
The officers were reportedly killed during a raid on a home in Culiacan, in north-west Mexico.
According to BBC reports, the policemen had gone to the house to search for weapons and drugs when they were fired on and a grenade thrown at them.
Nearly 1,400 people have died this year across Mexico as the country\'s drug cartels fight among themselves and government forces.
That figure includes 450 police officers and other government officials.
