New fighting erupts Saturday morning in Nuevo Laredo: 10 die

By Chris Covert

Fighting between drug gangs and Mexican security forces began anew early Saturday morning in Nuevo Laredo, killing 10 armed suspects, according to Mexican news accounts, Twitter accounts and narcoboard postings.

According to a post in Mforos.com, gunfire was exchanged in numerous colonies in Nuevo Laredo beginning at 0230 hrs. The colonies affected included, Infonavit, Benito Juarez and San Rafael colonies in western sectors of the city.

According to the account, units of the Mexican Army observed a convoy of vehicles, and as the drivers of the convoy were signalled to stop, soldiers were fired on, sparking a pursuit and gunfight.

A second pursuit and gunfight took place about 20 minutes later when a separate Mexican security forces convoy came under gunfire and pursuit. The exchange of gunfire included Mexican Army, Mexican Naval infantry and Tamaulipas state police units.

The fighting lasted until 0420 hrs.

According to a late report posted on the website of Proceso newsweekly, local government sources claim they have counted a total of 10 armed suspects dead in six separate engagements.

Father south in Ciudad Victoria, the state capital of Tamaulipas, one armed suspect was killed in an armed confrontation between a Mexican Army road patrol and two armed suspects Friday. According to news posted on the website of Milenio news daily, the two suspects fired on the Mexican Army unit from a vehicle.

Mexican Army return fire killed on suspects. The news story does not state the second suspect had been detained so it is presumed the second suspect escaped the shootout.

One pistol and the vehicle was seized following the conclusion of the encounter.

New Los Zetas Group Appears

According to a news item posted on the website of Noticias-mexico.com website, a news story on Saturday morning's firefights had been appended with an announcement of the formation of a new separate Los Zetas group, according to the translation, opposed to Los Zetas' leader Miguel Trevino, who has apparently assumed leadership of the gang in the wake of the shooting death of Heriberto Lazcano Lazcno at a baseball field in Coahuila earlier this month.

The group has dubbed itself Los Legionarios, which has been described as a renegade Los Zetas group. The announcement said that Trevino, known as Z40, had a hand in the death of Lazcano Lazcano.

It is unclear if Saturday morning shootouts had anything to do with the formation of the new group. Blog del Narco has claimed fighing has erupted between shooters aligned with Z40 and the new Los Legionarios group, which has reportedly killed eight.

  3. Has there been any update on the "official" body count since Calderon took office, or is it still around 50/60 thousand ?
    Don't know if it's just me,or does anyone else think that the security forces seem to be putting more bad guys to sleep than usual recently ?

  6. Legionarios? That's a weird name. Is it me or does it seem like thats a name la tuta will make up. Templarios- Legionarios, seems to me that cell of los zetas is in contact with templarios that are already in nuevo Laredo. I think templarios are financing or supporting that renegade part of los zetas.

    1. Why because of the 'arios' at the end of each word ?! I doubt that there is any connection. The words sound similar but are completely different. The Spanish only makes them seem that way.

  12. Tell you what,the mantas and propaganda work.I don't think for a minute that Trevino had anything to do with Lazcas death.More likely is Ardilla the hard case telling authorities where Lazca was last time he spoke with him.Imagine this is CDG or some other putting these mantas up to confuse the rest of the Z?Who knows,but this kind of shit been going on a long time.Remember the mantas supposedly from Guzman?Does anybody still believe they were actually from him?Even the vehicles,put any shit on them and it confuses the issue,i still think it was bad judgement to kill Lalo,kill people like that and you gonna get a comeback.

  13. Atleast el chapo doesnt kill innocent hard working people. The zetas kill, extort and murder anyone.

    Deat to the Zetas. Long live el Chapo.

    To El Chapo, The Mexican people still hope you fulfill your promise of exterminating zetas from Mexico permanently. I dont deal drugs or like dealing drugs but I hate people who put terror into normal citizens for no reason like the zetas. Your a drug trafficker. I am a farmer. Help us el Chapo.

    4. Compadre, are you new to this type of news, being Mexican I find it very offensive that you could say that as if you have an idea I what goes on in Mexico. The zetas are a new cartel well independently at least, Sinaloa has been committing these atrocities for YEARS. The only difference is no one cared I remember being 5-6-7 and hearing all the popping and having to lay on the back steps on the backyard porch in case of bullets I had no idea it was danger. There is nothing new here the only difference is now its exposed and the government is forced to report on a little bit and social media also twists the medias arms. And it is a little more violent do to these unloyal dogs creating there new "cartels" most of them don't even move drugs they just terrorize and extort. So please If you don't KNOW don't comment please

  17. The reason there are so many sinaloa "nut huggers" is because the sinaloa cartel is the most likeable of all the cartels. No conspiracy. Its more akin to sports teams

If you live in the us you are not hard, it is easy to say you are when there's not .762 and .556 penetrator rounds flying at you from all directions and your dashboard is exploding in your face and glass flying everywhere. Even Lazca shit and pissed himself, it's not a game these guys do not think cheer leaders are cool. If you approached one of these guys kissing there ass you wouldn't make it out alive.

  21. Just like the group called ”Mata zetas” its just another cartel rival from Los zetas. A bunch of BS just like the first one. And to the people who say 40 is a traitor, go to Mexico, ask Taliban z50 if he was a traitor. He is in jail caught if u dont know. Oh and dont drop the soap!

The thing I hate is being in my gun room / man cave, with my ak my multiple AR Variants, ammo boxes etc and knowing I will never have to use it and there's these helpless people falling like June bugs in October that desperately need these weapons and can't get them, I would gladly quit my job and go become a vigilante I would rather live one more week helping the helpless than till I'm 70 blogging about what I want to do.
