| Mexico: human head, note threatening officials found |
| 2008-07-08 |
| (Xinhuanet) -- A human head and a note purportedly from a drug cartel threatening three officials of Oaxaca state, southern Mexico, was found near the home of the state's attorney general, authorities said Sunday. State prosecutors said the head and note were found Saturday inside a plastic bag left a few yards from Attorney General Evencio Martinez' house in the state capital. The note threatened Martinez as well as organized crime investigator Pedro Guzman and the leader of the state's governing party, Jorge Franco. The note signed in the name of the Gulf drug cartel said officials must 'learn to respect that we are here and we won't leave.' A body matching the head was found outside the city. Officials said they have not yet identified the man. |

| #5 "Bring me the head of Alfredo Garcia!" ________ Seriously, and speaking as a Tucsonan - the cartels are already here in force - aided by the Mexican cultural tradition of "extended family" which simplifies cross-border business. Our national culture is changing...and not for the better...this is NOT nativist talk...my grandparents came from Russia...they did however willingly accept American ideals, left their superstitions behind them...and didn't spend evey other weekend traveling back to Russia to load up on contraband... |

| #4 ...because it worked so well when the Americans showed up with a purpose in Iraq. Hey, Mr. Cartel, don't read the American MSM about the 'failure' in Iraq, I'd catch up on the net that head dispatchers are becoming real rare when the right boys are let loose on yours. You don't want to end up on a 30 sec vid on YouTube, with a snarky tag on Rantburg, do you? |
