Translation note: The translation of the summary said that Rosado was not one of the elements who pulled the trigger, but in the confession, he admits to being one of the shooters...

Mexican Federal agents arrested a man Tuesday they say was a lookout for the group that assassinated a Chihuahua assistant attorney general, according to the Mexican daily Tiempo.

Cristian Rosado was arrested in connection with the murder of Procuraduría General de Justicia del Estado Subprocuradora de Asuntos Internos, Sandra Ivonne Salas June 30th in Juarez.

In a video statement Rosado said he was paid 2,000 pesos a week for his work with the Juarez cartel group La Linea. He also said he worked nearly everyday but he didn't shoot everytime he worked.

La Linea is one of the most vicious Mexican criminal gangs in existence.

Rosado said he was given the order to kill Salas June 30th.

Rosado said there was an inside source that betrayed Salas when the person said he would use Salas' vehicle, a gold Dodge Durango, to buy food at 1500 hrs. in order to "paint the target" for the killers, who were laying in wait.

At about 1930 hrs, Salas left her office with two people, a bodyguard and another person, and an escort vehicle. The assassins were aboard four vehicles and began pursuit of Salas.

Rosado said Salas drove very fast and left behind her escort vehicle vehicles behind, but when she drove in an underpass on Avenida Las Torres, that was when he started shooting.

"When we met and we drove by, we saw that she was dead."

#3  Google 'Mexican cult of death'. They have a cultural quirk about death that even a Muslim could admire, though they're not up to the 'ploding vest stage yet.
