Attacks on U.S. Border Patrol agents increase: Narcos are not willing to lose

MEXICO - The clashes between drug traffickers and agents of the U.S. Border Patrol has increased 200 percent, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) . According to data published by the digital version of El Universal , it was members of the Gulf cartel who attacked Border Patrol agents on June 9 in Texas, noting that criminal organizations are desperate and do not want to lose more drug shipments. Between fiscal years 2004 and 2009, according to the Department of Customs and Border Protection, as quoted by El Universal , the attacks grew from 356 to 1,073, ie 200 percent. According to Steve McGraw, director of the Department of Public Safety Texas, who said that criminal gangs are uswing the most advanced weapons technology, have an unlimited budget, and they have no rules to follow and have very good countertactics. Of open shootouts in the last 18 months, according to the official, he added 44 suspected drug traffickers attacked U.S. agents. On June 9, members of the Border Patrol observed a van with Tamaulipas plates near the town of Abram in Texas, where several people discharged about 180 pounds of marijuana. Noting the presence of the agents, drug dealers returned to the Mexican side, from where they started a confrontation with the Americans. A Border Patrol agent was injured. On the other hand, three criminals were injured and one killed. "At one time, members of drug cartels abandoned their vehicles when the agents confronted them in the United States. Similarly, the smugglers simply fled when they were stopped on the road. It is no longer the case. The drug cartels will not tolerate further failures. Loads of drugs and people are vigorously protected by direct confrontation, running away at high speed and returning to Mexico, "said McCraw to El Universal .

(Each time an item refers to another police officer being killed, including military acting in that capacity, there will be an asterisk*.)

Warning: May have graphic photos. Viewer discretion.

CIUDAD JUAREZ, CHIHUAHUA

Four men found, tortured and executed, then wrapped in blankets and left inside a car behind two schools.ACAPULCO, GUERRERO

A violent weekend in Acapulco. At least five men were killed in four incidents. Unlike the US, news travels slower south of the border, and coupled with busy cops who may not have time to file reports, these killings may not become known until Monday or even Tuesday.

SAN NICOLAS, NUEVO LEÓN

Sunday morning, a man was thrown from a truck, handcuffed and blindfolded. After he was on the street, he was then executed.
TORREON, COAHUILA

Early Sunday morning, two men in a truck were killed when gunmen in another opened fire. Police counted over 20 shell casings.

XALAPA, VERACRUZ

Sunday evening a group of gunmen attacked the Federal Courthouse. The attack was repelled, but at least one state police officer wad four others were injured. The report did not say whether they were officers or civilians. During the 2 hour attack, social network users reported large explosions.


ZAPOPAN, JALISCO

Three men in a grocery store were gunned down but initially survived. Two of the three are in very grave condition. One was the owner and the other two were customers.


MAZATLAN, SINALOA

The head of a man was left near the state police facilities early Sunday morning. There was a mark on the forehead, made with a knife, and an ear was missing. About 20 minutes later, police were notified of a body hanging from a bridge over a roadway. He was identified as a 33 year old man. (At least he’s identified. There are thousands of bodies in Mexico that have not or can not be identified. Some state governments have been forced to bury many of them, occasionally in mass graves. The bigger tragedy are the many families, especially parents, who will never have closure and know what happened to their loved one

TORREON, COAHULA

During about a 5-6 hour period early Monday morning, 5 men were tortured and executed . All were handcuffed, and all had been shot. The report indicates that although found in different locales, they appeared to be related as each had a narco message from the same group although it did not indicate who was responsible.

SANTA CATARINA, NUEVO LEÓN

Monday afternoon a dozen gunmen arrived at the municipal police headquarters, walked in and killed the chief, Germain Perez. They then kidnapped five others in custody, and left in five or more trucks they arrived in. This is the only information released at this point, and a press conference is expected within the next few hours. Another source makes note of one murder per hour in the state of Nueva León.




ESCOBEDO, NUEVO LEÓN

Gunmen entered a crowded pizza restaurant, with dozens of children and families. They opened fire on two youth, killing one and wounding the other, and then fled.
