Juarez Graffiti Message to U.S. law enforcement Warns of Another Car Bomb
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News, Threat Watch on 22/Jul/2010 23:33
“A graffiti message found Sunday night in Juárez warned U.S. law enforcement that another car bombing will occur if they do not arrest corrupt federal police agents.
The unsigned message told the FBI and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration to investigate authorities that support the Sinaloa drug cartel.
Otherwise, there will be another car bomb placed in Juárez to kill federal police, the threat stated.
“If in 15 days, there is no response with detention of corrupt federales, we will put a car with 100 kilos of C4,” the message read.”

Operation Chihuahua
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News on 13/Jul/2010 23:40
“Coordinated Operation Chihuahua or formerly known as Joint Operation Chihuahua is a Military and Federal Police operation started in 2008 by the Mexican Army and PolicÃa Federal Preventiva. The objective is to “besiege” Ciudad Juárez to concentrate forces and saturate the area to confront the three cartels already operating in the city.
Ciudad Juárez is known to be one of the most dangerous cities in the Americas. In the year 2007 more than 100 police officers were killed in Juárez in attacks blamed on organized crime.
The violence generated by the war of the drug cartels for control of drug routes translated into some 6,000 killings in 2008.”

Three vehicles recovered in the murder of Rodolfo Torre Cantú, candidate for governor, were altered to look like military vehicles.
Here’s a news flash: Americans living in border states are not mean-spirited bigots with racist hatred of anyone with brown skin.
They are good, hardworking people who do not want this kind of violence spilling across the border into their back yards, and who object to people showing complete disregard to the laws of the United States.
“Sources close to the investigation carried out by the Attorney General of Tamaulipas and the PGR report that sicarios were disguied as Mexican Marines who apparently had inside information of the PRI candidate [Rodolfo Torre Cantú], and managed to execute the ambush in full military precision.
According to information published by the newspaper Reforma, witnesses report that the candidate’s convoy was passed by a truck that suddenly started traveling at low speed and a a few feet ahead of the the road was tractor trailer that was used to block the road.
Once the procession was forced to stop, two cloned trucks, made to look like military vehicles, came from behind and from inside numerous men that appeared to be wearing marine uniforms got out of their vehicles.”

Border violence spills onto Mexican ranches and farms
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News on 7/Jul/2010 20:46
“The drug violence along the U.S.-Mexico border is now spilling into the region’s agriculture, threatening the safety of ranchers and farmers, slowing down what was expected to be the best harvest in years, and raising the risk that some crops will rot in the fields.
Ranchers like Gutierrez have trouble getting their animals to market. Farmers who once toiled long hours in the fields now fear being attacked in the dark. Some are even being forced to pay protection money to keep from being kidnapped or having their harvest stolen.
A woman who exports aloe vera said her father pays protection money just to be allowed to conduct business.
“Everyone does,” the woman said in an interview at a sprawling produce warehouse complex in McAllen, Texas.”
