HERMOSILLO, Mexico — The bullet-riddled bodies of four Mexican policemen were found today about 20 miles south of the Arizona border, and the anti-kidnapping chief in another northern Mexico state was reported to have been kidnapped.
Sonora state Gov. Eduardo Bours said a group of armed men had seized the Cananea city police officers hours before they were found dead. He did not give a possible motive for the killings.
Mexico has seen a wave of attacks on police, military and intelligence officials as the government battles drug gangs.
State police were sent to reinforce security in the town.
Meanwhile, authorities in the northern state of Coahuila reported that men disguised as Mexican federal agents had kidnapped the state's chief anti-kidnapping investigator.
Lucio Tello, a spokesman for the state attorney general's office, said that Enrique Ruiz Arevalo, director-general for investigations of kidnapping and organized crime for the agency, has been missing since Monday, when he was seized as he ate breakfast in a restaurant.
The four kidnappers carried rifles and wore black uniforms with the insignia of the Federal Agency of Investigation, Mexico's equivalent of the FBI, when they grabbed Ruiz Arevalo and another agent in Torreon, 310 miles southwest of the U.S. border at Eagle Pass, Texas.
They released the other agent hours later. He said he had been blindfolded, roughed up and insulted.
Tello said the attorney general's office knew of no motive for the abduction.
In my opinion it is the commies/socialists trying to generate enough unrest to win next time.
Add this sort of s%#*t to the long list of why we need A WALL!
Ping!))
If you want on, or off this S. Texas/Mexico ping list, please FReepMail me.
Thank goodness they’re keeping it over on that side of the border... oh, never mind.
Is there more going on down there than we are led to believe in the MSM?
The head of the Mexican army capitan and now these 4 cops.
Why do we care?
Because drug wars, corruption, poverty, tyranny and social upheaval in Mexico will eventually be exploited by the communists to establish another dictatorship such as the one in Venezuela. After years of communist hardship, half of Mexico may try to flee across our borders. If you had roaming bands of illegals walking about your neighborhood looking for criminal opportunities, as I have now, you would care. If law enforcement continues to do nothing, you will care. When the fabric of our country has changed forever, you will care.
I'll bet he doesn't do well on his next performance appraisal.
