Violence explodes in southern Tamaulipas after Z-40 detention


At least 10 unidentified individuals have been killed and several more wounded in southern Tamaulipas state, the result of the aftermath of the capture of Los Zetas leader Miguel Angel Treviño Morales, AKA Z-40 according to Mexican news reports.

An APRO wire dispatch which appeared in the online edition of El Diario de Coahuila news daily said that operatives with the Gulf Cartel had been firing indiscriminately over a two day period at residents of ejido Fe del Golfo in Jimenez municipality last Sunday.

According to the report several Gulf Cartel shooters arrived at the ejido and ordered residents to leave, firing on them as they did.

The reason why the ejido was ordered to vacate was not clear.  The Gulf Cartel maintains a logistics and training camp in the region said to house as many as 100 shooters.  The camp is so large, according to the report, Mexican Army and Tamauliupas state security troops refuse to enter the area.  Abasolo municipality is also reportedly another no go zone for federal and state security elements.

Unconfirmed reports have been made of armed confrontations between armed suspects and detachments of Mexican Naval Infantry in Gonzalez and Magiscatzin municipalities.  At least eight armed suspects have been killed in Magiscatzin municipality.

  1. attn chivis EDINBURG - A man wanted by two Rio Grande Valley law enforcement agencies has been killed in Mexico.

    Carlos Roberto Medina Cantu was found shot to death in Reynosa. He was an alleged member of the Partido Revolucionario Mexicano gang in that city.

    Medina made several death threats against Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Trevino and one of his deputies.

    Trevino confirmed to CHANNEL 5 NEWS that he was informed by Mexican authorities about Medina's death.

    Cameron County sheriff's deputies were also after Medina.

    The 11th out of 12 suspects is expected to plead guilty for his role in the Panama Unit corruption scandal.

    Alexis Espinoza is expected to appear before U.S. District Court Judge Randy Crane on Wednesday morning.

    Federal court records show that Espinoza is expected to change his plea from "not guilty" to "guilty."

    Espinoza, the son of Hidalgo Police Chief Rudy Espinoza, was one of the original suspects arrested in the case.

    Both Espinoza and Jonathan Treviño, son of Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Treviño, were arrested following an FBI raid at the Mission Police Department.

    Treviño and 10 other suspects in the Panama Unit scandal are expected to be sentenced on September 10th.

    According to federal court records, several law enforcement officers teamed up with drug traffickers to steal drugs, sell them and split the profits.

    Former Hidalgo County Sheriff's Office deputy Jorge Garza is left as the sole defendant in the Panama Unit scandal.

    Garza is expected to go to trial on July 29th.

  5. yeah, why dont they just drone strike those camps? because the local police and whatever security forces are complicit in this mess.. if you know where something is, it kind of makes it easy to develop a strategy. just like the old saying goes, if you want to do something, you are going to do it.. anyway, off subject. i have noticed that the last few execution vids that have turned up on here, the gulf cartel is showing to have their shit together as far as escalating the brutality of the vids, the zeta videos seem like they are using scrubs to do the dirty work

  9. This training camp is almost all the way to Ciudad Victoria sounds like CDG has regained A LOT of turf or the maps we've been shown for the last several years that showed they were boxed in and only had Reynosa have been complete garbage!!! I guess the rumor 6 months ago CDG was hiring 1,000 new men might've been true. How long do you speculate this camp has existed and how many do you think can be trained at this type of big camp in a 3 month period?!

    Mexico is a shithole, the entire government is back in cartel hands 100% they just released that nut case in control of the education system Elba Esther Gordillo for "lack of evidence" what a joke! Next they will be releasing Z40 for the same reason! Mexico is a failed narco shit hole!

    Mexican Army is scared of 100 armed men ?
    Are you joking ?
    Five thousands, or ten thousands, then yes.
    But one hundred men ???

    The Mexican soldiers are cowards.
    The navy would do it easily.

  20. Yes, the cartels have training camps! How do you think they are able to train thousands to form part of their animes(militias). The CDG and Zetas have or have had training camps in the states of Tamps., N.L.(mear were Z40 was caught), and Jalisco ; in fact, theyve had them right on the border with Texas mear Mier in Falcón Lake and Villahermoso,, 30mi. from the U.S./MX. border. There in lies the threat these cartels pose. You need a standing Army to impose your will on territory you control - the cartels have that to a certain degree. For all practical purposes they are the government of territories they control. Note : it was said that Villahermoso was utilized bu the Zetas as a hiring place from the heat they would get from the authorities in N.Laredo before the CDG/Zetas split. Lazcano would use the place as a sort of retreat if you will. It was said that he personally participated in the battles for Villahermoso the Zetas/CDG had back in Jan. 2011. Its a straight shot to the Los Indios Int. bridge west of Matamoros, hence, the importance of the town. Right next to where the U.S. Marine was allegedly kidnapped.

  25. @0638 hrs.: Class? No. These cartel slugs--from the top down--are all scumbags. They peddle poison, they terrorize and murder people for the sheer joy of doing so. A man must be soulless in order to commit such atrocities with such impunity. Anyone cheering on any drug cartel is as perverse as the cartels themselves.

  27. Mexico does not have the death penalty, but I thought treason was punishable by death. When a person battles the Mexican forces, shouldn't that be called treason thus punishable by death?

  30. I suspect those area which are no go are no go because Mexican Army units have no orders to go.

    Pena's strategy from the very start of his administration has been to tamp down on the violence.

    Any warfighter will tell you, Mexican, American, Chinese or Russian, that the most successful battle ever fought was the one you didn't have to fight; where the enemy's will to fight and win has been so degraded there is little to do but surrender.

    There is little doubt that the Mexican can go into those areas guns blazing and win, but that is not part of Pena's strategy. Mexican Army units, from what I have read, don't lack the cajones to do the job. They just don't have the orders to do it.

    The army can easily cordon off the area, patrol it routinely stopping anyone from getting in or out to the point where those left inside the camp, if they want to eat or resupply, will have to surrender. If the Mexican Army can destroy the power of the cartel with less bloodshed, that just shows how far the Mexican Army has come.

    Just my dos pesos worth.

  33. Why doesn't the military kick the president and other top people from the government too? Alot are cowards and others are doing the right thing.

    Now for the people saying CDS doesnt hurt innocent people, are obviously wrong. Look at Tijuana, Juarez as great examples. When 'Manuel "M1" Torres' son was killed he tortured and killed many innocent guys in and around the town he was at.

    I honestly want the US to take over this war because Mexico is run by rats.

  34. Ok do yall remember me El 2 Banderas the original one not the want to be Zeta, I do have family on the Zetas side & Golfo side. Zetas have been jumping ship even before Z40 got arrested why yall think half of Monterrey belongs to CDG & they even have recruits in Nuevo Laredo. Zetas have been loosing wars left & right with Chapos & golfos. My zeta family will eventually jump to Golfos because they say they haven't been getting paid & z42 is not a organized boss. He acts before really planning a move. This cases happen because X Zetas are straight out ruffless they don't give a snap about the people but don't worry CDG comandantes will punish them a taplasos & teach them they need to respect la gende del pueblo because with out respect no one likes you & won't let you work peacefully in there town. CDG will eventually take all the gulf coast & CDs all the pacific coast. CDG, CDS, CT are carteles Unidos. One rumor has it Mayo & Chapo aren't in good terms but still keeping the war a side & trying to keep Peace upon them self. La union ase La fuerZa parejon chauuuuu puro 3 letraz a la orden del Sr. H7

  38. For your information:
    09/11.-Un cable diplomático hecho público por WikiLeaks proporciona evidencia de que tropas de Estados Unidos ejecutaron al menos a 10 civiles iraquíes, incluyendo a una mujer de 70 años y a un bebé de 5 meses de edad, y después pidieron un ataque aéreo para destruir las pruebas, hechos de 2006

    Un cable diplomático de Estados Unidos hecho público por WikiLeaks proporciona evidencia de que tropas de Estados Unidos ejecutaron al menos a 10 civiles iraquíes, incluyendo a una mujer de 70 años y a un bebé de 5 meses de edad, y después pidieron un ataque aéreo para destruir las pruebas, en un polémico incidente ocurrido en el 2006 en la ciudad central iraquí de Ishaqi.

    El cable no clasificado, que fue publicado en el sitio web de WikiLeaks la semana pasada, contenía preguntas de un investigador de las Naciones Unidas sobre el incidente, que había enfurecido a los funcionarios locales iraquíes, quienes exigieron algún tipo de acción por parte de su gobierno. Funcionarios de Estados Unidos negaron en el momento que algo inapropiado hubiese ocurrido.

    Sin embargo, Philip Alston, relator especial de la ONU sobre ejecuciones extrajudiciales, sumarias o arbitrarias, aseguró en una comunicación con los funcionarios estadounidenses fechada 12 días después del incidente del 15 de marzo del 2006, que las autopsias realizadas en la ciudad iraquí de Tikrit mostraron que todos los muertos habían sido esposados y que se les disparó en la cabeza. Entre los muertos había cuatro mujeres y cinco niños. Los niños eran de 5 años o menores.

    Contactado por correo electrónico el miércoles, Alston afirmó que a partir del 2010 -los datos más recientes que el tenía-las autoridades de Estados Unidos no habían respondido a su solicitud de información, y que el gobierno de Irak tampoco había dado respuesta. Dijo que la falta de respuesta de Estados Unidos “fue el caso en la mayoría de las cartas a Estados Unidos en el período 2006-2007”, cuando los combates en Irak alcanzaron su punto máximo.

    Alston indicó que no podía suministrar más información sobre el incidente. “La tragedia -dijo- es que este complejo sistema de comunicaciones está establecido, pero el Consejo de Derechos Humanos [de la ONU] no hace nada para dar seguimiento cuando los estados ignoran las cuestiones que se les plantean”.

    El Pentágono no respondió a una solicitud de comentarios. En ese momento, funcionarios militares estadounidenses en Irak declararon que los relatos de ciudadanos que presenciaron los hechos tenían muy pocas probabilidades de ser ciertos, y más tarde ampliaron que el incidente no ameritaba mayor investigación. Las autoridades militares también se negaron a revelar que unidades podían estar involucradas en el incident
