Ciudad Juarez: 427 women murdered from 1993 to 2007 – but 252 murdered so far in 2010 alone.
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News, Threat Watch on 23/Oct/2010 15:39
“All this, just across the Rio Grande from El Paso, Texas
Press records show that murders of women in the Ciudad Juarez area have taken place this year as follows: 16 in January, 9 in February, 28 in March, 15 in April and 17 in May. June closed with 29 victims, July with 25 cases and August ended with 41 violent deaths. The number for September was 44, a new record. October has already had 28 assassinations of women in 19 days. The 23 year old woman whose body was found abandoned on a street in Juarez just a couple of days ago died after a guitar string was wrapped around her neck and then was twisted until her head was severed.
While in fourteen years, from Jan. of 1993 to Dec. of 2007, there were 427 women murdered there, this year there have already been 252 such cases.”

“Women — many as young as fourteen — comprise 70 per cent of the Juárez workforce. They eke out a four-dollar-a-day living in the maquiladoras — sweatshop factories that have mushroomed along the border since Mexico signed up to the North American Free Trade Agreement in 1992. Yet in addition to exploitation and squalor, the women of Ciudad Juárez are oppressed by a murder rate that has attracted worldwide revulsion.”

“Drug cartels in Mexico are fighting and often shoot anyone in their path — and one local family said they lost a relative because of it.
According to some reports, more than 1,000 people have been killed in Chihuahua, Mexico since the beginning of this year. Now, the violence has hit home for one Duke City family.
“My brother was the joker of the family. He was really happy all the time,” the victim’s sister, Carmen Alcantar, said.
Alcantar said her brother, Miguel, had a girlfriend and a 2-year-old daughter in Chihuahua. Despite warnings from his family, Miguel went to see them last week.
“We’ve always told him not to go down there and that he should perhaps get his family here,” Alcantar said.
“Two cars drove up beside him and there were two others with him in the vehicle. They took out their machine guns and they were masked men,” Alcantar said.

Border Patrol agents exchange gunfire across U.S-Mexico border.
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News on 18/Sep/2010 17:21
U.S. Border Patrol agents fired gunshots into Mexico after coming under attack during a half-ton drug bust and giving chase to a truck along the Rio Grande, U.S. authorities said Monday.
No Border Patrol agents were hurt during the “fire fight” early Saturday in Mission, agency spokeswoman Rosalinda Huey said. She did not say whether Border Patrol gunfire hit anyone, citing the ongoing investigation.
“The firing they received came from the Mexican side,” Huey said.
Reports of bullets whizzing across the border from Mexico also are on the rise. At least eight bullets have been fired into El Paso in the last few weeks from the rising violence in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, where drug violence has killed more than 4,000 people since 2009, making it one of the deadliest cities in the world.

“Mexican Federal police in Ciudad Juárez continue to investigate a foiled car bombing attempt in the parking lot of a day-care center along Hernamos Escobar Avenue in the Omega Industrial Park.
Mexican Federal police spokesman José Ramón Salinas said officers responded to a call late Friday night about a dead body found in a blue Ford Escape parked on the street outside of the day care center.
“When police arrived at the scene, they found the man’s body inside the Escape and discovered an explosive device inside a red Kia compact car in the parking lot of the day care center†Salinas said. “But as they inspected further, they found more explosive materials inside the Kia.”

Gunmen Free Prisoners, Kill 2 Guards in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News on 10/Sep/2010 16:59
“Gunmen rescued two inmates who were being transferred from a hospital to a prison and killed the two guards escorting the men in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico’s murder capital, a military spokesman said.
The incident occurred Tuesday morning at the intersection of Adolfo Lopez Mateos street and La Raza avenue in the northeastern section of the border city, Military Police spokesman Jaime Torres said.
“Regrettably, the two guards died when they were attacked by a convoy of armed men, who rescued the two inmates who had been taken to the General Hospital to receive medical care and were on their way back†to the prison, Torres said.
Ciudad Juarez, with 191 homicides per 100,000 residents, was the most violent city in the world in 2009, registering a higher murder rate than San Pedro Sula, San Salvador, Caracas and Guatemala, two Mexican non-governmental organizations said in a report released earlier this year.”

Ciudad Juárez, Mexico: They Poured Gasoline on Him and Lit a Match

They Took Him Out of the Vehicle, Poured Gasoline on Him, and Lit a Match
http://www.oem.com.mx/elmexicano/notas/n1762169.htm
While more than 2,030 homicides have taken place in Ciudad Juarez during this year, the state attorney general prosecutors have only been able to find suspects in 67 of those cases, that is, one in every hundred. This is seen as a motivating factor for others to commit crimes, since the local perception is that killing has no consequences here.
Jesus Camarillo, a law professor at the University of Ciudad Juarez, said in an interview that, “In civilized societies, every conflict must be resolved by a third party, which is the State, now practically excluded, and then the conflict is resolved by private vengeance, and that is what we see presently: a state of barbarism, because the state’s presence is totally excluded, since there is no one to challenge crimes, no one to investigate them.â€

Mexicans Discover Mutilated Body of Police Officer

Residents in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, discovered the severely mutilated body of a federal police officer Sunday outside a strip mall, the latest victim in Mexico’s ongoing drug war.
Unknown assailants “pulled off the hands, feet, head, legs and arms” of the victim, the state of Chihuahua prosecutor’s office said.

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.”
