I don't know if you all have been hearing about it, but the violence in Mexico is getting SERIOUS. It's not a likely thing for federal agents to be murdered, especially so many at one time. These Mexican drug lords are doing all of this to challenge their President. THIS IS REAL. The entire country is living in fear for their lives. These are skilled criminals that are training on a regular basis to wipe out all law enforcement, including ours. Soon Obama will be weighing in on this crisis, because these druglords are making their way into our country. I can only pray that he's careful with his handling of this brutal situation.
TimeOnline reports:
A powerful Mexican drug cartel has unleashed a killing spree against the authorities in a challenge to the leadership of the President in his home state.
The bodies of a dozen federal anti-drug agents were found on a mountain highway in Michoacán, the home state of Felipe Calderón, on Monday.
The killing of the agents was the worst loss of life in a single attack since President Calderón took office in 2006, taking the war between the narcotics gangs and the Government into uncharted territory.
Their murders were the boldest of at least ten reprisal attacks since Arnoldo Rueda Medina, nicknamed La Minsa, was arrested on Saturday. He is reputedly the second-in-command of La Familia cartel in Michoacán.
The surge in violence marks a potential shift in Mexico’s drug wars, which have claimed 11,000 lives during the presidency of Mr Calderón, who ordered the army to intervene.
