Mexico general fighting drug cartels shot dead

 
General Nino Villarreal killed

Monterrey (Mexico) (AFP) - Gunmen killed a Mexican general sent by the government to tame violence in a northern state plagued by drug cartel crimes along the US border, authorities said.
 General Ricardo Cesar Nino Villarreal and his wife were shot dead as they drove Saturday in Vallecillo, in the northern state of Nuevo Leon.
 But their two-door car and the bodies were found only Sunday by people who were driving on the road linking the cities of Monterrey and Nuevo Laredo, said the security task force of the neighboring state of Tamaulipas.
 More than 100 high-caliber bullet casings were found at the scene of the shooting, officials said
.
 Nino Villarreal was one of four military officers who were deployed by the federal government in May to stem a surge of violence in Tamaulipas.
 The general was in charge of a northern zone that includes Nuevo Laredo, a city bordering Texas which has been the scene of turf wars between cartels fighting over control of the lucrative drug trafficking route.
 "The government of Tamaulipas condemns and deeply laments the death of General Ricardo Cesar Nino Villarreal and his wife," the state's security coordination group said in a statement.
Nuevo Leon's chief prosecutor, Adrian de la Garza, said earlier that authorities were checking whether the general was one of the victims. Tamaulipas authorities said Nuevo Leon prosecutors had confirmed his identity.
 De la Garza said the general usually traveled in an armored vehicle with a security detail, but the victim was unarmed and in a civilian car.

 Nino Villareal survived a previous attack on October 9 when unidentified gunmen shot at his armored vehicle in Linares, also in Nuevo Leon state.
 Before his appointment in Tamaulipas, Nino Villareal was head of police in the Nuevo Leon town of Cadereyta.
 The military took full control of security in Tamaulipas in May after scores of people died in a series of gunfights between warring cartels as well as clashes between gangs and security forces.
 The state has been plagued by turf wars between the Zetas and Gulf drug cartels for years.
Both gangs have been weakened by the arrests or killings of top leaders.
 The most recent violence has partly been blamed on infighting within the Gulf cartel.

- Violence persists -

Violence continues to torment Tamaulipas residents despite the security overhaul.
Three American siblings, all in their 20s, and a Mexican man were found dead last week, two weeks after they were abducted in the town of Control.
Prosecutors have questioned nine members of a special police unit over allegations that they had kidnapped the four victims.

The officers were part of a tactical force known as the Hercules Group, which was formed by the mayor of the city of Matamoros, Leticia Salazar.
In October, a doctor who used Twitter to report violence in Tamaulipas was kidnapped by unknown assailants in the border city of Reynosa.
Authorities said they were investigating whether Maria del Rosario Fuentes was killed after disturbing pictures of her were posted on her account before it was taken down.

More than 80,000 people have been killed and 22,000 have gone missing since Mexico's government deployed troops to crack down on drug cartels in 2006.

    5. The truth hurts 7:34a but no one wants to hear it. In a 100 years from now Mexico will still have the same problems because it's part of the culture. It will just be a different generation dealing with the same issues.

    7. Nov 4, 2014 @3:25p. You obviously know nothing about the war in the Middle East. First of all we beat the insurgents in Iraq. That's why we left. Second of all ISIS is a bunch of dumbass peasants killing innocent non Muslims. Now all the jihadist are fighting each other for scraps. Have you seen the destruction that the US led air strikes have caused to ISIS. ISIS is left to fighting their former allies (FSA and Al Nusra) for terrority because they can't handle the air strikes or Assad's army. Plus Chicago, Oakland and Detroit are Disneyland compared to the most dangerous cities in Mexico. At least in the US if you call the police because you are a victim people don't have to worry about being victimized by the police too. You might want to take a gulp of your own stfu juice my friend. Get your info straight man damn!!!!

    10. Ferguson is one incident in one city. Did 43 students get murdered or kidnapped in Ferguson? No!!! Did 400 people get disappeared in Ferguson? No!!! Shit happens sometimes like it did in Ferguson. Does it make it right? No!!! But at the same time it shows you how much one wrongfully killed citizen will cause an uproar in the US. We Americans acknowledge our faults not hide it and then act like it never happened.

  4. Some disturbing stories about Hercules Group seem to be coming out the longer they operate.The more you think on Maria del Rosario Fuentes and the pictures they took of her the more angry you become.It makes you wonder what kind of inadequate bitter little"men"can do shit like that?What does it even achieve?To think,a group of"men"stood around her and one killed her?That kind of human has no place in any society,if you can kill defenseless women and children,you simply DON'T deserve to live..

    1. ....and of president Obama and pm Cameron / Blair (and company) whacking innocent kids & women in the middle east?? Do you think THEY deserve to live?? nobody is perfect, sure we all ought to know and deal with this human Truth... BUT... can you honestly say the problem lies merely with psycho paramilitary types or criminals? these psycho nonchalant innocent killers (anti-christs) are EVERYWHERE. don't believe me? Just walk down the street, imagine if someone walking past you was holding your kids hostage, what you would do to them, it's in EVERBODY the ability to kill, the issue is who why where when etc. NOT can I / can't I.

  9. I guess CDG wasn't happy with his tactics. If he indeed worked with the Zetaz then that is enough for the Golfos to wack him. He probably should have stayed in Nuevo León if he wanted to live.

  10. Most likely he was corrupt and was killed because he either refuse to follow cartel orders or maybe he was straight edge and try to follow the law.... In Mexico "plomo o plata" since 1995 when I left mexico , it has been the same story. No way to fight corruption.
