| 2010-12-15 |
| Mexican president Felipe Calderon was threatened with death in an anonymous posting in a narco blog Sunday night, according to Mexican press source. The death threat is said to be a response to last week's Policia Federal operation which killed La Familia leader Nazario Moreno Gonzälez, alias El Chayo in Apatzingan, Michoacan. The threat appeared in the popular narco blog El Blog del Narco Sunday night warning reader to stay away from shopping and hospitals. Michoacan is Calderon's home state. His sister, Maria Luisa, is seeking state office under the Partido Accion Nacional banner in 2011. The message in part reads: ""Beware Felipe Calderón, pray to thy holy because we bring the blessing of our God. Nazario our God, may God rest his soul. his will not stop until you die..." Several armed groups associated with La Familia are named in the message as well including Pumas, Los Bravos, Los Leones, La Resistance, The 5-5, The Elites, The LF, Los CHAYITO, The Machito, Las Fieras, Los X, Los de la A. "Do not panic, try not to go out for federal pork, no disrespect to them, and to avoid further bullet losses. Do not go to hospitals, do not go shopping, watch TV and stay at home please." the message adds. The message declaims their threats as narco-terrorism related, rather as a guerrilla war. The Blog del Narco is a website frequented by various participants from both sides in the Mexican Drug War. |
