At Least 19 Killed in Clashes Between Armed Groups in Mexico
|
 [SPUTNIKNEWS] A joint operation of the Public Security Secretariat and the Mexican army has been launched to find the whereabouts of the gangs involved in the festivities.
At least 19 people have been killed in festivities between gangs in Madera, the state of Chihuahua, Mexico, the state Prosecutor's Office said on Saturday.
"The operation was immediately deployed when a report was received Friday at approximately 6:35 p.m., regarding a possible confrontation between rival groups linked to organised crime, in an area that leads from Las Varas to Largo Maderal", the General State Prosecutor's Office (FGE) of Chihuahua said in a statement.
The police forces who arrived at the scene located the bodies of 18 civilians, 18 long weapons, two vehicles and two grenades that were seized. Two injured men were also found by the police and taken to hospital, but one of them died, bringing the corpse count in the incident to 19. The other man remains in jug.
Raids of this type are not rare in Mexico, where violent gangs are a sad reality.
Early reports said that the alleged hitmen of a group that is a part of the Sinaloa Cartel were caught in an ambush by a group that is part of the Juarez Cartel, while driving on a dirt road in the town.
Mexico has seen high levels of gang violence tied to drug trafficking. There were 2,585 homicides in the country in March, despite social distancing efforts in the midst of the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
 ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
pandemic.
| How shocking that the violently non-law abiding also do not obey rules designed to save the lives of others. |
There were more than 35,000 murders in Mexico last year.
