Translated excerpt:
The Gulf Cartel (CDG) left five of their hitmen, who they say were behind the attack on the four Americans, bound at wrist with zip ties on a street in Matamoros.
The cartel group claimed they did not give the order for the abduction and offered up the hitmen to police.
.....A narco message sign was left alongside the hitmen with an explanation from the Gulf Cartel. The message read as follows, as translated by Sol Prendido:
The Gulf Cartel Grupo Escorpiones strongly condemns the events of Friday, March 3. In which unfortunately an innocent working mother died. And 4 American citizens were kidnapped, of which 2 died. For this reason we have decided to hand over those involved and directly responsible for the events who at all times acted under their own determination and indiscipline and against the rules in which the CDG has always operated.
We respect the life, tranquility and integrity of the innocent. The CDG apologizes to the society of Matamoros, the relatives of Mrs. Arely, the affected American individuals, and families. In addition the CDG asks society to remain calm because we are committed to ensure that these errors caused by indiscipline aren’t repeated. The guilty parties will pay, regardless of who they are.
CDG Grupo Escorpiones
Why Do This?
For those wondering why a cartel group would potentially give up their own men like this - it’s because the kidnapping “calento la plaza”, or heated up the region, meaning that kidnapping brought increased law enforcement attention to the area.
Anything which brings “heat” to an area where a cartel group operates is bad for business, as far as the cartel is concerned.
The last thing an organized crime group wants is an increase in media attention, particularly American media attention, that’s focused on the criminal activity of their territory.
Handing over these hitmen is an attempt by the Gulf Cartel to appease the American cries for justice, believing that once the perpetrators are arrested, the focus will shift to prosecuting the men for the kidnapping and ease off the larger criminal scene in Matamoros.
It’s important to remember, however, that the aggressive attack on the four Americans is the result of the environment of Matamoros - a city where Gulf Cartel leadership has thoroughly corrupted local law enforcement, paying out weekly bribes to municipal police officers.
The complicity of law enforcement with organized crime leadership is what emboldened the hitmen to act as they did on March 3rd.
Cuba to host ‘peace talks’ between Colombian government and Cuba-sponsored Marxist ELN terrorists

Commentor on Cuba’s latest move and intent:
From our Bureau of Unconditional Surrenders with some assistance from our Bureau of Latrine American Charades
For the past fifty years or so, Castro, Inc. has been sponsoring and aiding Colombia’s murderous Marxist-Leninist “National Liberation Army” (ELN) terrorists. Everyone knows this.
So, why are “peace talks” about to be held on Cuban soil between the government of leftist president Gustavo Petro and Castro, Inc.’s beloved terrorist guerrilleros? Because this meeting is not about “peace talks”. It’s merely about logistics, that is, about working out how best to orchestrate the takeover of Colombia by the ELN and how best to turn Colombia into another Cuban satellite state just like Venezuela and Nicaragua.
