Posted by Jack Sinclair in News, Threat Watch on 15/Oct/2010 16:31
“Senior U.S. officials are concerned over recent intelligence indicating that the Pakistani Taliban, which orchestrated the failed Times Square bombing, may have successfully placed another operative inside the United States to launch a second attack, sources tell Fox News. Authorities, however, know very little about the potential operative or any possible plot.
“[We] don’t know who it is and don’t know where it is,” one source said. “We know the guy’s here, but don’t know anything about him.” Based on the intelligence, authorities believe the Pakistani Taliban, also known as Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan, would have directed the individual to attempt another Times Square-style operation, but not necessarily in New York City… ”

“Monterrey, Mexico – Once an oasis of calm, Mexico’s richest city has become a central battleground in the country’s increasingly bloody drug war as cartels open fire on city streets and throw grenades onto busy highways.
Escalating violence in Monterrey, one of Latin America’s most affluent cities and seen as a symbol of Mexico’s economic prowess, is arguably the most dramatic development in Mexico’s four-year campaign against powerful drug cartels.
Firefights are spilling into leafy suburbs, putting ordinary Mexicans and foreigners at risk and raising the stakes for President Felipe Calderon as he faces pressure to protect a city generating 8 percent of Mexico’s gross domestic product.”

Costa Rica to require visa scrutiny for Mexicans & Guatemalans
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News on 15/Oct/2010 16:08
“Costa Rican immigration officials are proposing to toughen the issuance of the visa issuance process for citizens of Mexico and Guatemala. The object is to look into a visa applicant’s police or criminal record for citizens of those countries interested in traveling to Costa Rica.
The Vice-Minister for Government, Mario Zamora, said that it’s time to take preventive type actions due to the great number of cases in which citizens of those two countries turn up to be linked with organized crime.
A similar procedure has already been imposed on visa applicants who are citizens of Colombia and Jamaica.”

Texas: Falcon Lake Killing Blamed on Blunder by Cartel lower-level Operatives
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News on 15/Oct/2010 16:03
Members of the Mexican military search for David Hartley's body in Falcon Lake.
“BROWNSVILLE — A global intelligence company Wednesday said the death of U.S. citizen David Michael Hartley on Falcon Lake was a case of mistaken identity in a turf war between rival drug cartels.
Hartley, who was shot during a Sept. 30 sightseeing trip to the Mexican side of the binational reservoir, was shot by Zeta cartel enforcers because he was mistaken for a spy of the rival Gulf Cartel, according to the report by STRATFOR, and Austin-based think tank specializing in intelligence and international issues.
The report goes on to say Hartley’s body likely was destroyed as Los Zetas went into “damage control†mode and that the lower-level operatives responsible for the unauthorized strike against him now are on the Zetas’ hit list.”
