Anything on a fight outside of Acuna, up the river on Lake Amistad, last week? Bass fisherman were cleared out, and escorted back to US side by Mexican miltary helicopters prior to the several hour battle. Bass fishermen with combat experience in Iraq said it wasnt target practice going on across the lake and over the mountain. Co-worker with family in Acuna also said many shoot-outs in Acuna last weekend.
