Mexican drug traffickers' first car-bomb attack against police has revealed a new level of cold-blooded planning that is forcing this border city and security forces to change the way they confront violence.
Police said La Linea drug gang — the same group blamed for the March killing of a U.S. consulate employee and her husband — lured federal officers and paramedics to the site of a car bomb by dressing a bound, wounded man in a police uniform and calling in a false report of an officer shot.
The gang then exploded a car holding as much as 22 pounds (10 kilograms) of explosives, killing the decoy, a rescue worker and a federal officer. A regional military commander said a cell phone might have been used to detonate the bomb.
The gang promised to strike again, with graffiti painted on the wall of a Ciudad Juarez shopping center. "What happened ... is going to keep happening against all the authorities," the message read. "We have more car bombs."
He fears such attacks could hit the morale of his already overworked police force.
"Having attacks, direct attacks, on the police department creates the possibility of police just retiring or quitting," he said.
While cartels have often used grenades and high-powered rifles against police and soldiers, Thursday's attack was the first time a cartel has successfully used a sizable bomb to attack security forces.
Brig. Gen. Eduardo Zarate, the commander of the regional military zone, said as much as 22 pounds (10 kilograms) of explosives might have been used in the attack, adding that burned batteries connecting to a mobile phone were found at the scene.
Civilian Ciudad Juarez residents also were emotionally shaken by the bombing, which scattered debris over a 300-yard radius, blew out windows of a nearby home.

Migration will increase at end of economic crisis
The world’s economic recovery ought to generate enough jobs to bring about a new increase in emigration toward developed countries next year, according to a recent release by the Organization for Economic Development and Cooperation (OECD.) According to the OECD, the flow of emigrants fell approximately 6%, down to 4 million persons, in 2008, and it continued downward in 2009, ending a five year period of increase.

Michoacán residents keep emigrating to the United States
Zayra Mandujano Fernandez, head of the state of Michoacán Dep’t. of Migrants, said that some 30,000 residents of that state emigrate to the United States every year despite that country’s measures to increase border security to halt the passage of undocumented persons. She added that the phenomenon of migration will not diminish during the next twenty years due to the economic blows that Mexico has suffered.

A most grisly find
In an industrial suburb of Guadalupe, Nuevo Leon, (a satellite city of Monterrey) police found vestiges of decomposed human remains inside eight 55-gallon barrels. Eight shallow graves were also located in the area, and five of them yielded burnt pieces of human remains. Officials assume that the victims were first placed in the acid filled barrels. If portions remained, they were then burned and later they were placed in the graves. A couple of stolen vehicles and some firearms were also found at the same place.

And four more…
The bodies of four men were found at dawn today (Thurs.) on a street in San Pedro Garza, another suburb of Monterrey, Nuevo Leon. All four had their hands bound and each had been finished off with a coup de grace.

“Ten million Mexicans are ‘invisible’ “
At least some 10 million Mexicans, around 11% of the country’s population, lack a birth certificate, and thus also lack access to education and social programs, according to a private foundation named “Be Foundation Derecho a la Identidad.” (sic) The report states that half the residents of the states of Guerrero, Oaxaca, Veracruz, Hidalgo & Puebla lack these documents. Arturo Zamora, a Mexican congressman of the PRI Party, stated that “poverty, ignorance and internal migration are the principal causes, since this phenomenon is found more often in indigenous areas and in cordons of misery.”

We interrupt this program to bring you a flash news bulletin from the Obamaloon Regime:
“Nothing to see here, folks. Move along, move along.
This is not encouraging. What percent of Mexico’s population lives in the U.S. now?
Coming Soon to a neighborhood mall near you.

I suspect Obozo will be declaring illegals to get “refugee” status before he’s done.
The idea of thought behind who taught them is dictated by patterns and trends. In other words, who else cut off heads and use car bombs? Let’s start with the obvious first: the vast majority of Islamic terrorist groups. Therefore, one could easily postulate that the Mexican cartels are either copying or incorporating the techniques of Islamic terrorist groups or they are being literally taught these varying terrorist methods by actual Islamic terrorist groups. This then leads to the various reports inb recent years citing the growing convergence between international criminal groups/organizations and varying Islamic terrorist groups, specifically those reports directly aimed at the convergence between the two largest Mexican drug cartels and Islamic terrorist groups.

That was the first thing I wondered, too: that’s a technique that was used in Iraq and Afghanistan.
One thing nobody likes to mention is that these drug gangs are NOT just criminal organizations. They are tied in with radical leftwing political groups. One of the reasons they have gotten away with things is because they have been protected by this connection, and one of the reasons they are really going crazy now is that this is an all-out attack not only on the immediate problem for them, the police, but on democracy and law in Mexico under the conservative party.
I think the US has been hampered from giving the necessary support in this because there are many people in the current administration who realize that the drug gangs are virtually nothing more than the funding wing of the radical left in Latin America.
I am sure that the Hezbollah and other violent Muslim groups that we KNOW are in Mexico have been teaching the cartel boys well. They are escalating. It would be to Mexico’s advantage to seek those “visitors” out and send them home.
More than 10 percent. Last year Pew polled Mexicans and something like 40 percent said they wanted to come here and live.
I've always assumed there was at least some islamic involvement in the mexican drug trade. After all, heroin and hash from Afghanistan and Turkey is distributed in the U.S. and some of it comes through the mexican border. I'm certain people from the aforementioned countries are "on the ground" in mexico competing for markets for their products... using whatever means necessary.
It's a win-win for them: make money, kill infidels.
And the question is, how many of them are already here.....
If and when things go crazy here in the USA, with the 0bama Regime seizing all banks and militarizing transportation, the guerrilla army that is waiting in Mexico will have it's signal from the anarchists in DC to begin it's all out assault on our southern border.
Then it will make what's currently happening seem like a picnic. What's happening in Mexico is by design. The 'NewWorld Order' can only begin when America's economy is "brought into line" with the other, poorer nations.
Game Over!
The “if” disappeared November 4, 2008. Now we are waiting on the “when”, my FRiend.
Ping!
If you want on, or off this S. Texas/Mexico ping list, please FReepMail me.
I was thinking the same thing
If we can hit them in Pakistan and Yemen, for plotting to kill Americans, I don't see why we can't smoke them in mexico too.
