More than 300 people have been arrested in a series of drug raids targeting a Mexican drug cartel operating in the US, American officials have said.

Attorney General Eric Holder said the operation had "dealt a significant blow to La Familia's supply chain of illegal drugs, weapons and cash flowing between Mexico and the United States."

La Familia, which is based in the western Mexican state of Michoacan, has been accused of carrying out bloody attacks on Mexican security forces.
