Police seized weapons, tigers and lions when they raided an alleged
drug-trafficking ring in an upmarket neighbourhood of Mexico City.

The sprawling mansion in Desierto de los Leones - whose walls,
ceilings and furniture are made almost entirely of ornately carved
wood - appeared to have been used by the traffickers for parties on
nights and weekends, authorities said.

The house was equipped with a private zoo housing a collection of
animals including two tigers and two lions. It was unclear what the
authorities planned to do with them.

Eleven Colombians, a US citizen, two Mexicans and an Uruguayan were
detained during a raid on the house at the weekend, organised-crime
prosecutor Marisela Morales told a news conference.

Morales identified the gang's leader as Teodoro Fino Restrepo, who
allegedly arranged for sea-borne cocaine shipments from Colombia to
Mexico's Beltran Leyva cartel.

Also detained in the police raid was US citizen Raul Munoz Montalvo,
of Texas. Police did not release the name of his home town and no one
from the US embassy in Mexico was available to comment.

All the suspects are being held on suspicion of drug trafficking,
money laundering and organised-crime activities, Morales said.

Nine Mexicans working as waiters and disc jockeys were briefly held
and released.

Authorities had been investigating the group since 2005, the
prosecutor said.

Almost 400 people have died in the past two weeks in an intensifying
drugs war in Mexico despite a government crackdown on cartels,
trafficking and related violence.

The killings include six people lined up and shot against a wall with
a written warning promising a similar fate to all "rats", and five
others shot dead in a house where a gang lord's corpse was found in a
freezer.

The death toll this year has passed 3800 despite a massive state
crackdown launched two years, including the deployment of about 36,000
soldiers across the country.

Some blame increased Mexican cocaine consumption for the spike in
violence. Until recently, cocaine was exported mainly to the United
States.

Mexico "is no longer only a country of drug transit to the United
States, but has become an important consumer market", federal
prosecutor Eduardo Medina Mora said recently.

National drug consumption rose by about 30 per cent between 2002 and
2008, and by almost 100 per cent for cocaine, the prosecutor said,
citing a federal investigation.
