“FBI says Mexican violence may be moving north”

“The FBI is warning that one of Mexico’s most brutal drug cartels could be making a renewed push... here... in the United States.”
By Michael Board
Wednesday, October 29, 2008

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “There’s a renewed worry that Mexico’s drug war violence will spill over into the United States.

“We’re talking about a very specific group called Los Zetas,” FBI Special Agent Eric Vasys tells 1200 WOAI news radio. “They are a paramilitary drug trafficking group operating in Mexico who have been known to conduct some operations in the united states.

The FBI’s San Antonio field office has put out a joint assessment bulletin, warning that one of Mexico’s most brutal drug cartels is trying to regain control of the major trafficking routes. The Zetas are well known in Texas for their brutality. Vasys says the bulletin is a warning for all law enforcement.”

Pastor Kidnapped in Tijuana

By Jackie O’Neal

Special to ASSIST News Service
TIJUANA, MEXICO (ANS) — According to the Baptist Press http://bpnews.net over a week has elapsed since San Diego pastor, Manuel Jesus Tec was abducted on Oct. 21 in Tijuana, the Mexican border town.

His family still continues not to get word of him. Mickey Noah writing for The Baptist Press went on to say that the kidnappers demanded a $1 million dollar ransom for Tec’s safe return, but two calls earlier this week, revealed the kidnappers lowered the ransom amount to $ 500,00 and subsequently to $ 200,000.

The Baptist Press reported that Pastor Manuel Jesus Tec, 59 was kidnapped after crossing the border from San Diego into Tijuana with his family, wife, Maria and son, Giovanni. The kidnappers stopped the car around 5 a.m. and sequestered Tec, but left his wife and child free and unharmed.

Tijuana continues to have a reputation as a dangerous border town for visitors and residents alike. An axis for drug traffic, rival gang conflicts have been the cause for the deaths of an estimated 2,000 persons last year.

Tijuana estimates show a homicide nearly daily and two abductions a week on average.

Johnny Tec said, “We are totally hopeful and faith-filled. Mom is holding up pretty good. We’ve been holding prayer meetings every night at the house and we give credit to the prayers of so many people out there.”
