| Los Zetas Send Threats via Text in Guatemala |
| 2010-12-29 |
| Google Translate A Guatemala's state of siege declared ten days ago in the Alta Verapaz department has compelled the primary target of those operations to threaten civilian residents and others through text messaging, according to Guatemalan news accounts. Los Zetas criminal gang, suffering from setbacks as Guatemalan security forces beginning counternarciotics operations targeting them, texted threats saying they would counter government moves by attacking public places such as shopping malls. Government spokesman for the Interior Ministry, Nery Morales, said the government would not attend any threat from anyone about their ongoing operations. Government security forces have scored a number of early hits against Los Zetas narcotic operations since December 19th seizing more than 150 weapons, drugs, vehicles including armored vehicles, light aircraft and an amount of cash. |
