- In Tijuana, Baja California, authorities indicate that so far this year 20 persons have disappeared through forceful abduction by armed groups. This information comes from a special unit of the district attorney’s office called “Investigation of Forced Disappearances.”
Entorno a Tamaulipas (Tamaulipas) 8/26/08
Once again, Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas (across from Laredo, Texas) is threatened by narco-messages on large canvasses hung across busy streets. The photo relates. The message in blue says: “President Calderón, you want to end the insecurity, stop the ridiculous empty speeches and you and the generals stop offering protection. [followed by names of generals]. The one in red lists the narco leaders, pointing out that they have “more than 40 years operating.”
The National Association of Former Border Patrol Officers (NAFBPO) extracts and condenses the material that follows from Mexican and Central and South American on-line media sources on a daily basis. You are free to disseminate this information, but we request that you credit NAFBPO as being the provider.
