“Shootout Drills” for Mexican Schools
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News, Threat Watch on 9/Jul/2010 19:49
“MEXICO CITY – Schools across Mexico are teaching students to dive to the floor and cover their heads as urban gunfights between drug gangs multiply in the violence-torn country.
At least nine shootouts have erupted in school zones since mid-October, three of them in the past month. On June 15, soldiers and gunmen battled for an hour just 60 feet from a preschool in the central town of Taxco.
Several Mexican states are now requiring “shootout drills” and are incorporating them into summer teacher-training courses, which begin next week. School ends Friday in most of Mexico.”

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.”
