MEXICO CITY (AFP) - - Twelve people were killed in northern Mexico close to the US border, including eight in Ciudad Juarez, in the latest violence attributed to the country's brutal drug war.

In Ciudad Juarez, known as Mexico's most violent city, a shooting Wednesday between policemen and gunmen attacking a soda delivery truck killed two people -- an attacker and a deliveryman, according to local police officials.

In another part of the city, a commando of hitmen killed a 35-year-man with several bullets after having chased him down several streets.

The other victims were shot down Wednesday in other parts of Chihuahua state, where Ciudad Juarez is a border city across from El Paso, Texas.
