Nine Bodies Found Hanging from Bridge in Nuevo Laredo

The bodies of nine men were found hanging from a bridge Friday in Nuevo Laredo, a border city in the northeastern Mexican state of Tamaulipas, officials said.
 


“The individuals were hung (early Friday) from a bridge at the intersection of Colosio Blvd. and the highway leading to Monterrey,” capital of the neighboring state of Nuevo Leon, a security spokesman in Nuevo Laredo said.
 
The bodies bore signs of torture and the suspected perpetrators of the crime left a message whose content was not disclosed.
 

Prior to the discovery of the bodies, an armed commando had dragged several people from a bar and later set the establishment on fire. Investigators are trying to determine if those victims were the same people hung from the bridge.
 

In May, the bodies of five men and four women who were blindfolded and bore signs of torture were found hanging from another Nuevo Laredo bridge.

On that occasion, suspected members of the Los Zetas drug cartel said in a message that the victims were members of the rival Gulf mob who were killed for “heating up the plaza (drug-smuggling route)” and attracting the attention of the security forces with their attacks.

The Zetas have threatened to wipe out the Gulf organization, which has allied itself with the powerful Sinaloa gang – headed by Joaquin “El Chapo” (Shorty) Guzman – in a bid to seize control of the city, located across the border from Laredo, Texas.

These latest killings came on the heels of Wednesday’s capture of top Gulf cartel boss Jorge Eduardo Costilla Sanchez, alias “El Coss,” by Mexican marines. Not a single shot was fired in that operation in the northeastern port city of Tampico.

Costilla’s detention left the Gulf mob – one of Mexico’s oldest criminal organizations – without its two top leaders. On Sept. 3, marines captured Mario Cardenas Guillen, alias “El Gordo,” who had headed another branch of that drug cartel.

These blows should exacerbate drug-related violence in Mexico, experts say, because the Zetas will look to seize control of areas still under the control of the Gulf cartel, which maintains its stronghold in the northeastern state of Tamaulipas and also operates in other parts of northern Mexico and the country’s Gulf coast.

The Gulf cartel and the Zetas, its former armed wing, severed ties in 2010 and that split has sparked turf battles in northeastern Mexico that have left thousands dead.

That region is one of the flashpoints in a drug war that has left some 60,000 dead since President Felipe Calderon, whose term ends this year, took office in late 2006.

  1. We should be able to tell some of what the banner says, looks like cdg/cds banner, but Zeta's have used that font before too, recently. At least get an idea of who left it.

  5. Ok let's get one thing straight El Coss was no longer CDG since he send R1 to kill M3. Him & His crew were still saying CDG but they were on El Chapos payroll so they where CDG Antrax. Now El Pelon X20 has been the main boss of CDG since M3 felt down. El gordo was 2nd in command but dump head wanted all the power for him self just because he was related to El Señor Osiel. Next in line after X20 is M4 but he don't care about being the TOP DOG he likes being 2nd in command so that means no more internal fighting. Now Rojos & Metros have been working together & have squash the beef down. Peace will engulf CDG once again internally but a new war has begun.

  8. yes j im really interested in seeing what the banner says, but also important, why would the authorities choose to sometimes release the messages and other times not? is the choice to release or not release related to who is in charge and what their policy is or is it more related to what the contents of the message are?

    ReplyDelete
  9. The message was: It will happen to all who support Z40, hawks, pussies and all who is connected with them! With respect - Los Talibanes 50!

    "Esto le va a pasar a todos los que apoyen a Z40, halcones, estacas y todo lo que huela a ellos.

    Atte. Los Talibanes 50"

  18. The word is that the 60-70 murders that have happened this week have been the handiwork of El Taliban who has moved hit squads into the city. There is a great deal of confusion and panic in the city right now and nobody knows if El Taliban is going to ally himself with the CDG or if he is trying to take over the city by himself. The most disturbing part of what is happening now is that before attacks were at nighttime. Now, people are being killed in broad daylight.

  21. Probably innocent civilians used as props to terrorize everyone else. Most other instances of large body drops have turned out such, just innocents.

  22. aint the hanged ones CDG members? another site stated that they were CDG members being hung up and killed.

  23. @ 7:53 And what of Z3,where does he fit in all this?

    ReplyDelete
  24. We might find the clue in naming the nightclub that the murdered were snatched from. Obviously they attacked that nightclub because it was associated with a cartel,more than likely u think...anyone know anything?

  25. This is all playing out exactly how Azul and Chapo wanted it too. No one knows whos in charge of Los Zetas or Cartel De Golfo and there is infighting between both groups. Meanwhile Chapos sicarios are slowly moving into tamps and zacatecas and all the other rival strongholds planting the Sinaloa seed. CDS will be the only cartel left in a few years. El Chapo never seizes to amaze. And everyone thought the Zs would run Mexico. Rabbid dogs can only run wild for so long, eventually they are all put down.

  26. the Penthouse table dance was under quota of Zeta 40 people. It also was used as a tiendita. Word is that it was taliban People, that burnt it down, for aiding and abetting 40. Most of the people hung were
    innocent employees of the Bar.
