News From The Border

[Alpha Mare]

According to the Proceso magazine website a Canadian citizen, Kenneth Charles Peters, was shot and killed by an armed group of men in the town of Allende, Coahuila located approximately 40 miles from Eagle Pass, Texas.
The incident occurred about 5:00 PM on Wednesday, June 9th. A second person who was a passenger in the same vehicle with Mr. Peters was seriously injured.
State prosecutor Jesus Torres Charles confirmed the death of the Canadian who suffered two bullet wounds. The unidentified passenger also suffered several gunshot wounds and could be a U.S. citizen according to the prosecutor.
According to a police report a group of gunmen intercepted the gold Suburban in which the victims were traveling at the junction of Highway 57 and Highway 2. The Suburban refused to stop and attempted to evade the armed group
A local reporter interviewed several witnesses to the chase that stated speeds reached up to 100 miles per hour under a hail of gunfire.
After Kenneth Peters’ Suburban crashed and overturned in Allende, one of the pursuing gunmen descended from his vehicle and in front of more than a dozen travelers on the highway walked to the wreckage and shot Mr. Peters twice in the head.

Mexican authorities found a tiny tracking microchip that was implanted six years ago in former presidential candidate Diego Fernandez de Cevallos, missing since May 14 and thought to be in the hands of kidnappers.
The chip was discovered by federal investigators at a crossroads about 40 kilometers (25 miles) from Fernandez de Cevallos’ ranch in the central state of Queretaro, Excelsior and La Jornada newspapers reported Wednesday.

“To remove the device, his captors apparently used scissors they took from his personal kit, with which he styled and trimmed his beard,” Excelsior said.

A comando of heavily armed Zetas attacked the building housing the Ministry of Public Security in Matamoros, Tamaulipas on Wednesday June 9th. Matamoros is considered one of the main plazas and home territory of the Gulf Cartel.
According to unofficial information, the shooting began at five in the afternoon and ended around nine o'clock at night. No civil authority has officially confirmed this incident. An unknown number of municipal police were killed, wounded and kidnapped.

Oh wait, there's more:

Thursday night, at around 11:00pm local time, an armed group of individuals entered a drug rehabilitation center in Ciudad Juaréz, Chihuahua, and killed 19 people. All of the 19 individuals were patients at the “Fe y Vida” (“Faith and Life”) rehabilitation center. Unconfirmed reports state that four others were critically injured.
Witnesses estimate that nearly 30 individuals took part in the attack. The armed group forced the patients to lie down on their stomachs for the execution.

At around 2:00am local time a group of armed individuals attacked the Plaza de Arco hotel in Monterrey where federal police had been patrolling. The individuals riding inside of two trucks and one car began firing upon the front of the building with rifles and threw one grenade inside the hotel lobby that failed to detonate.
This incident comes one day after a leader from The Zetas (Los Zetas), Héctor Raúl Luna Luna (El Tory), was captured in Monterrey. Minutes after his detention, a military convoy supposedly repelled an attack by gunmen, after which about 5:30 PM a series of blockades were thrown up by armed street gang thugs who hijacked buses, tractor trailers, cars and pick-ups throughout the metropolitan area.

The vehicles were then placed at main intersections across the roadways in order to block access. Recent reports count 28 blockades. Gang members armed with steel bars and guns threatened civilians and hijacked their vehicles en masse.
There will also be an investigation as to why, at certain blockades, local police took up to three hours to arrive at the locations.
 

And finally, it's not just the border.

Tuesday night, entrepreneur Fouad Hakin Santiesteban was kidnapped; his wife, Irene Méndez Hernández Palacios, was shot in the process. Soon after leaving a football practice, the car in which they both traveled was intercepted by an unidentified vehicle. While the couple resisted the attack, Irene Méndez was shot and Fouad Hakin was taken. Irene was transported to a local hospital where she died later that evening.
The Secretary of Public Safety of Veracruz, Sergio López Esquer, announced earlier this morning that a body, believed to be that of Fouad Hakin, was found within the riverbanks of the Sedeño River. Despite reports that the body had been severed, the body found shares similar physical characteristics to that of Fouad Hakin as well as clothing he was last seen wearing. No official identification has been made.

Mexican drug cartels employ more foot soldiers than Mexican army
Published 4 March 2009

Mexico is spinning out of control; narco-terrorists have infiltrated the Mexican government, creating a shadow regime that complicates efforts to contain and destroy the drug cartels; Mexico ranks behind only Pakistan and Iran as a top U.S. national security concern -- but above Afghanistan and Iraq.

Back in January we wrote that “With drug-related killings doubling in 2008 over 2007, and with drug lords becoming more brazen in their attacks on the state, the U.S. Joint Forces Command warns of the potential for ‘rapid and sudden collapse’ of the Mexican government”.

U.S. Defense Department now thinks Mexico’s two most deadly drug cartels together have fielded more than 100,000 foot soldiers — an army that rivals Mexico’s armed forces and threatens to turn the country into a narco-state. The conflict has become increasingly brutal, with victims beheaded and bodies dissolved in vats of acid.

Note that the death toll dwarfs that in Afghanistan, where about 200 fatalities, including 29 U.S. troops, were reported in the first two months of 2009. About 400 people, including 31 U.S. military personnel, died in Iraq during the same period.

“Many times the death of federal officers or local police isn’t a cartel making the hit, but the cartels themselves in the government fighting one another. The same thing has happened to the Mexican army, where the cartels have also bought loyalty to move dope into the U.S.”

Here's a good article about living on the border (2005) and the future (now current) problems of illegal immigration.

 

Throughout the 1980's and early 90's the 14-mile stretch of border in San Diego was hostile, violent, and out of control. Border patrol agents use terms like "chaos" and "anarchy" to describe it, saying that they faced riot conditions every night. Crowds would gather on the Tijuana side and pelt border-patrol agents with rocks. Shots were sometimes fired across the border at patrolling agents, and almost daily thousands of Mexicans would gather on the U.S. side, then dash forward en masse in what were known as banzai runs.

For years this neglected zone was a dangerous no man's land known for its lawlessness and violence. Illegal entrants were robbed every night and often raped and murdered by Mexican bandits and sometimes by Mexican policemen or criminals operating under their protection. The flavor of those violent times has been caught by Joseph Wambaugh in Lines and Shadows, a factual account of border crime in the 1970's and of the special unit formed by the San Diego Police Department in a futile attempt to combat it.

I say we erect a very TALL electrified fence along the entire southern border and fortify it with claymores and attack helos.  Give the illegals and their bleeding heart supporters a month's notice and then open fire.
Yeah, yeah, I know it wouldn't fly, or be humane, but we seriously need to get a grip on this illegal problem.  First step is getting rid of politicians who would rather cater to THEM than hardworking legal American residents.  I'm gonna do my part by voting for JD Hayworth in the R primary instead of Reach Across the Border (until the polls show you're in trouble) McCain.  It grieves me to vote against a war hero, but apparently John has forgotten that we have a war going on here in the southwestern states bordering Mexico.

[vesta111]

I agree.. I also wonder why they do not talk about the violence? 

Lets just hope these people from Mexico do not discover the 3,000 year old ----the sling shot.  David and Goliath.

So far these peons have just been lobing rocks at our guards, not enough guns or ammo.   These young folk are so under educated they are unaware that they can make their own sling shots and mow us down. 

Strange with our technology today for defence that any people would throw rocks at the Enemy. 

What is the speed of a baseball thrown as hard as possible.?  Perhaps 90 mph.  With a sling shot that missile can go much faster.  Ammo is always at hand, any small rock will do. 

If I were in charge of this mess, I would issue OUR border guards with wrist rockets.  When they get bombarded with hand held rocks and they take out a few of the attackers, WHAT, no international incidents, no killing of unarmed people, fair fight.

History shows that more wars have been won by people using the simplest of tools then gun powder.

We have had incidences of people using small ball bearings in slingshots to break windows just for the fun of it.

Then I bought wrist rockets for my sons and we shot crab apples over the river from Maine to New Hampshire. 

Give me a break, if we are up in arms about people throwing rocks at us and how dangerous that is to our people, fire the heck back with a tool that was in the back pocket of Dennis the Menices

9 Dead in Shopping Mall "Mega" Shootout
Sunday, June 13, 2010

Tepic, the capital of the west coast state of Nayarit, was the scene of a bloody armed clash between a group of gunmen and government forces in the Plaza Soriana shopping center between 1:30 and 2:30 PM this Saturday.

It is estimated that 1,500 shoppers were present when the gunfight began in the parking lot of the establishment.


Mexican army and Nayarit state police detachments were sent to set up roadblocks and conduct a search of the commercial area. According to witnesses when the authorities entered the parking area they were met with a hail of gunfire from at least 15 armed men, plunging the shopping center into a scene of absolute chaos.

20 Execution Victims Litter the Streets of Ciudad Madero

In a horrendous show of force 20 victims of organized crime-style executions were tossed onto the streets of Ciudad Madero, Tamaulipas by suspected rival drug cartel gangsters. Ciudad Madero is located on the gulf coast of Mexico 250 miles south of Brownsville, Texas.
All the victims were bound and showed signs of torture and gunshot wounds.

The spokesman for the state prosecutor’s office also stated that a group of gunmen had entered the Tampico-Altamira-Ciudad Madero area Thursday and were attacking and executing rival organized crime groups in all 3 cities.

That's not entirely true. After my divorce in 1984, I spent a LOT of time in Tijuana. In Mid 85, the Navy placed an 8:00 PM curfew for the Sailors & Marines. Regardless, I only had one minor incident during the entire time I frequented Tijuana. That was averted by my friend and I simply leaving. 

When I was testing to become a full time San Diego Cop, three SD cops were killed in Balboa Park. They were killed by an illegal alien drug dealer. That changed my mind and I re-enlisted. That said, I wouldn't want to hang out in Tijuana nowadays.

CASA GRANDE, AZ - Two men shot earlier this week could be the result of the ongoing battle between Mexican drug cartels now spilling over deep into Arizona, officials say.

Pinal County investigators say an area known as the smuggling corridor now stretches from Mexico's border to metro Phoenix.

The area, once an area for family hiking and off road vehicles has government signs warning residents of the drug and human smugglers.

Night vision cameras have photographed cartel members with military arms delivering drugs to vehicles along Highway 8.

"We are three counties deep. How is it that you see pictures like these, not American with semi and fully automatic rifles. How is that okay?" asked Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu.

Babeu said he no longer has control over parts of his county.

"We are outgunned, we are out manned and we don't have the resources here locally to fight this," he said at a Friday news conference.

Five weeks ago Deputy Louie Puroll was ambushed and shot as he tracked six drug smugglers.

Pinal County Sheriff: Mexican drug cartels now control parts of Arizona

CASA GRANDE, AZ - Two men shot earlier this week could be the result of the ongoing battle between Mexican drug cartels now spilling over deep into Arizona, officials say.

Pinal County investigators say an area known as the smuggling corridor now stretches from Mexico's border to metro Phoenix.
The area, once an area for family hiking and off road vehicles has government signs warning residents of the drug and human smugglers.
Night vision cameras have photographed cartel members with military arms delivering drugs to vehicles along Highway 8.

"We are three counties deep. How is it that you see pictures like these, not American with semi and fully automatic rifles. How is that okay?" asked Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu.
Babeu said he no longer has control over parts of his county.

"We are outgunned, we are out manned and we don't have the resources here locally to fight this," he said at a Friday news conference.

Even more disturbing, Babeu said the man who called in to 911 operators for help seemed to know a lot about the sheriff deputy's case.
"He told operators they could find him where the deputy was shot and talked about our search helicopter. Things that were not talked about on the news," Babeu said.
When operators asked the fatally wounded man how he knew the area, he claimed he sold cantelope near mile post 150.
Both men were found dead several hours later.
Detectives say next to them was a Bushmaster automatic rifle used by police officers for patrolling. It does not appear to be stolen.
Investigators also revealed that an autopsy showed strap marks on one of the men that likely came from hauling heavy loads, they suspect were drugs.
One of the men, deputies say, was voluntarily deported seven times.

Babeu said he doesn't believe the drug cartel problems will not be solved when SB 1070 becomes a law, or with President Obama's promise of 1,200 troops spread out among four border states.

"It will fall short. What is truly needed in 3,000 soldiers for Arizona alone," Babeu said.

At Least 20 Executed in Zitácuaro Ambush
Tuesday, June 15, 2010

The sicarios "sealed" with trucks and buses the east and west exits of the town of Zitacuaro, where they reported at least 13 police officers dead, 15 officers injured and several sicarios dead. The toll is said to be at least 20 dead total.

A total of 28 inmates dead is the toll inside the prison of Mazatlan, including 20 alleged members of the criminal organization of the group of Los Zetas. Three inmates were injured along with two police officers and a guard who were also injured in a violent day that included fighting and direct attacks between members of rival cartels in this prison. The dead convicts were being held inside module 21 when the murderous prisoners forced the cells doors open with sledgehammers and gunfire at short range, the convicts inside were then forced to kneel down and were executed at point blank to the head. All 17 of the victims were literally riddled with bullets inside the module 21 where most of the convicts are considered high risk and dangerous.

Now how did those guns get in there?

Jalisco in Transition to be a Failed State
Police seized guns, drugs and arrested eighteen people using army clothes after a ten-hour shoot-out on a mountainous area some 60 kilometers (37 miles) north of Jalisco state capital.
The calm that was characteristic in the last three decades in the Guadalajara metropolitan area was in part due to a truce between drug cartels and the low profile of law enforcement, but things have changed in recent months seen in recent skirmishes involving drug gangs fighting for control of the plaza.

Review of the Mayhem over the Weekend
At least seven suspected gunmen were killed in separate shootouts with army troops in Los Aldamas, a city in the northern Mexican state of Nuevo Leon, but no soldiers were wounded, the Defense Secretariat said Sunday.
A military patrol spotted a group of armed men who were driving through La Lajilla, a town within the Los Aldamas city limits, on Saturday night.
The gunmen opened fire on the soldiers, who returned fire, killing two of the suspects.
Army troops seized six rifles, several handguns, a 40 mm grenade launcher and five vehicles, including two armored vehicles, after the incident.
Another army patrol sent to reinforce the first unit engaged gunmen in two vehicles a few minutes later.
Five gunmen were killed in the clash and soldiers rescued a hostage being transported in one of the vehicles.

Just a matter of time before Cancun is off limits too. Guadalajara/Jalisco was such a beautiful place to visit. I liked it better before all the retired Americanos took over. Might as well call it 'Little Cali' now.

Sicarios of "La Barbie" confront the military in Taxco; 15 killed


People stand next to a puddle of blood while peeking into a house where 15 suspected drug gang members died in a shootout with Mexican soldiers in Taxco June 15, 2010. Suspected drug hitmen attacked soldiers who were intending to inspect a cartel safe house in the colonial town of Taxco southwest of Mexico City. Soldiers returned fire, killing the assailants in a 40-minute gunfight, the defense ministry said in a statement.

Civil War in Mexico
The conflict sweeping the nation is expanding rapidly. Areas under the influence or control of drug cartels are increasing. The "drug war" is taking a very sinister turn. The drug cartels are constantly on the offensive now and have been for much of 2010, threatening the fabric of society.

The government is unable to impose the rule of law within ever increasing areas of the country as organized criminal groups destabilize society through the terrorism of both deliberate attacks against state institutions and the random violence against civil society.
The perception to the rest of the world is that in these areas law enforcement is irrelevant and only the military is capable of imposing order and only temporarily at best. The bodies of rival criminals, police and innocent civilians, many decapitated and dismembered, now appear in the streets on a daily basis in a campaign of intimidation of the population and a show of impunity.
The fear is so complete that many citizens in the affected areas no longer send their children to school. The feeling is that it is only a matter of time before the children are attacked en masse by criminals or fall victim to the crossfire of growing combat between government forces and attackers.

The political process is under attack as gubernatorial and local elections are disrupted by threats and assassinations of candidates or their family members. The authorities are unable to protect political parties or candidates and in some locations no one can be found to run for any office, except for the most corrupt.
Tourism, once a top revenue generator, is in danger of collapse as foreigners are attacked, robbed and murdered.

Maybe it’s time to change the definitions of this conflict and its actors.

Should we stop speaking of organized crime and drug cartels and sicarios and begin speaking of terrorists and insurgents armies?

Many academics, policymakers and politicians will berate this view as an uneducated oversimplification but for the common people on our side of the border a line has been crossed this week. A line that to Mexican citizens may have been crossed a long time ago.

We know the truth. Mexico is in a state of civil war.

Yes, it is. Calderon is out-manned, out-gunned and out-manuevered.

Mexico's drug cartels are becoming increasingly skilled at ambushing police and soldiers, luring them into traps, cutting off escape routes with flaming vehicles and overwhelming their targets in commando-style raids.
The attacks have driven the death toll of police and soldiers to record levels this year and fueled fears that government forces, often outgunned by the cartels, are now being out-strategized as well.

"These are war-fighting tactics they're using," said Javier Cruz Angulo, an expert on crime at the Center for Economic Investigation and Education, a graduate school in Mexico City. "It's gone way beyond the normal strategies of organized crime."

3 Federal Investigators Killed, 1 Wounded
Friday, June 18, 2010 |

Around 2:30 pm on Monday afternoon, four plain-clothes officers with the Agencia Federal de Investigaciones (Mexico's equivalent of the FBI) were investigating drug trafficking in the state capital, Chihuahua City. They were driving along Avenida Juan Escutia in a silver Chevrolet sedan when they were attacked by gunmen in two vehicles.

The officers initially evaded their attackers and a five-minute running gun battle ensued across the north part of the city. The gunmen finally managed to corner the officers on Avenida Heroico Colegio Militar near the intersection of Calle 19 de Julio. Under a hail of gunfire, three of the AFI officers are killed and one was left seriously wounded.

9 Police Officers Executed in Monterrey

In what has been the bloodiest day in recent memory 13 people including 9 police officers were executed by unknown gunmen in Monterrey on Wednesday, June 16.



The tortured and mutilated bodies of five Apodaca police officers , two of them women, were found in a vacant lot Wednesday morning by passing motorists.
In a sign of the increasing brutality practiced by criminal gangs some of the victims had been disemboweled and one was decapitated. Three of the victims had “narco-messages” addressed to a rival criminal group nailed to their bodies with ice picks.
Some of the bodies were placed to form the letter Z which is a signature used by the Zeta drug cartel to claim responsibility for the action.

All five officers had been abducted from their homes the previous night. Two of the officers, Juan Roberto Escobedo Lopez and Dulce Maria Esperanza Lira Torres, both supervisors, were a common law couple.
On Wednesday the couple’s two sons were also abducted according to family members. Their fate remains unknown.
