Los Zetas Cartel Attacks Mexican Army Fort near Texas Border (mucho graphico)
2019-08-31
[Breitbart] The ongoing violence between cartel fighters and Mexican authorities in Nuevo Laredo led to 12 gunmen dying within a 24-hour span this week.

The most recent battle took place in Nuevo Laredo Wednesday morning when a group from the Cartel Del Noreste (CDN) faction of Los Zetas attacked a Mexican Army fort, leading to a shootout that killed five gunmen.

The CDN men were all wearing military-style uniforms and carried high-powered weapons. They were part of the organization’s "Tropa Del Diablo or Devil’s Troops," tasked with keeping rival cartels at bay and clashing with authorities.

#7  Clothes make the man, but strategy wins the battle.
Can't expect dressing like soldiers will last long.

#6  Maybe those brave Murciélago boys finally infiltrated the top rungs and are sending 'em all out to die, squad by squad.

#5  Looks like they got lit up as they were approaching. The last guy sitting up, casually holding his rifle with his head gone. He died before he knew what happened.

#4  tasked with keeping rival cartels at bay and clashing with authorities. How about just clashing with rival cartels? That sounds more appropriate to me.
