Suspected drug hitmen dump head in Mexican city
16 May 2008

MONTERREY, Mexico (Reuters) - Suspected Mexican drug hit men dumped the head of a murdered man on top of a car in the street, police said on Friday, in a rare outrage in the wealthy city of Monterrey.

The head, found on Thursday night on the roof of a car parked in a middle-class residential area, had a written message next to it signed by the Gulf cartel, the country's most violent drug organization.

The ears were chopped off, a senior state police officer told reporters on condition of anonymity.

Mexican drug gangs, engaged in a bitter fight with each other and security forces, behead opponents to scare rivals, but this was the first such decapitation in Monterrey, home to large corporations and a wealthy business elite.
The message, written on cardboard or paper, suggested the victim may have been a common criminal who had passed himself off as a member of the Gulf cartel's feared Zetas hit squad.

"This is what happens to people who want to pass for Zetas," the message read, according to El Norte newspaper. The man's body has not been found, police sources said.

In Veracruz on the Gulf of Mexico, gunmen dressed as federal investigative agents forced their way into a city prison and freed six inmates on Friday, the state attorney general's office said.

The inmates were arrested in March, accused of working for the Zetas, Mexican media said.

Also on Friday in Ciudad Juarez across the border from El Paso, Texas, drug hit men killed two rivals in a hospital near the city's main military base, police and doctors said.

The gunmen entered the private Hospital Juarez and shot the men in the waiting room in front of doctors and nurses. The two men had brought in two seriously wounded partners, fleeing from a gun battle.

"It happened at 2.30 a.m. and we called the police, but no one came until 7 in the morning," said a hospital nurse who declined to be named.

President Felipe Calderon has sent 25,000 troops and federal police to fight cartels across Mexico since 2006 -- including 2,500 troops to Ciudad Juarez in March and more than 2,700 this week to Sinaloa, the home state of kingpin Joaquin "Shorty" Guzman, Mexico's most wanted man.

Despite those efforts, six high-ranking police officers were killed in the past two weeks. Drug violence has killed more than 1,100 people in Mexico this year.

sounds like a great vacation spot to send my mother in law

I'm rather surprized that Carlos Slim hasn't had this violents on pay perview . it would be a big sell in LA with there 30,000 bangers.
Mexico , space in time another diamention

When are Americans going to realize there are no safe places in Mexico to vacation and live anymore. They can minimize the problems and locations all they want...but the drug problems and cartel's jockeying for top positions can only get worse...and I sure wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of what this guy had done to him (and many others!)....and there is no guarantee that it won't happen....anywhere...anytime!! Calderon doesn't have control over Mexico and I doubt he or any other leader ever will because they don't seem to know how! I would suggest that the U.S. take over Mexico (instead of Mexico taking over the U.S.) and clean up the mess....but the U.S. has its own messes to clean up....of which we can thank Mexico and other Latino countries for their vast contributions!! For those Americans living in Mexico...it may be time to "get out of Dodge!!"
