Threats follow discovery of decapitated bodies

Three headless bodies were found in the Valley of Juárez on Sunday and Monday while worries grew over a new Internet message demanding that prominent Juárez families and business leaders pay a “quota” to a drug cartel for protection. The validity of the message was unknown. It was posted last week supposedly by “La Linea,” as the Juárez drug cartel is also known, on the popular video-sharing site YouTube.com, and shows scrolling text in Spanish set to a narco-corrido (folk song). “You saw what happened to Wily Moya,” stated the message referring to the fatal shooting of a prominent nightclub ….Read More

Man loses head pretending to be what he's not!

Our friend Sean Mattson, Mexico correspondent for the San Antonio Express News, left this interesting tidbit on his blog this morning, concerning the severed head found on a car in Monterrey this past week. Honor amongst thieves perhaps? Who knows, but I got a chuckle out of the thing. Head left on car with warning for wannabe Zetas; reassurance for businessmen Kidnapping a guy, chopping his head off and leaving it on top of a car is sure one heck of a way to send a message.
