  Update from Valor Por Tamaulipas

“The situation that occurred was because of internal conflict over the leadership of the faction of the Gulf Cartel in Reynosa.  This situation had been brewing for some time and increased when M4 was executed.  They then had problems with the commander Cortez, and now with Commander Gringo.  There were also problems with the factions of Reynosa from Ribereña. 

About the circus, there was aggression, some reported grenades being detonated.  The situation is still not clear yet or how many people were injured.  It was reported that there was a tiger that escaped, but people who were there do not mention anything regarding an escaped tiger.

Tomorrow (Monday) Reynosa will be on red alert.  There were reports that innocent people were affected. 

I think that we are in many ways like in 2010, when federal authorities let criminals face each other, and went out after half an hour after, to “control the situation”.  Although in this case we aren’t sure how they could have maneuvered, with the magnitude of fighting, and more for it being an internal conflict.  Once again Reynosa is exposed, like in the jail of Nuevo Laredo with the execution of 5 criminals.  The people who control what occurs in our state are the criminals, not the government.”

Update #3 Valor Por Tamaulipas around an hour ago (  ~16:00)

"Sunday March 10- Two young men, who work for the IFE (Federal Electoral Institute) in Ciudad Victoria, were surrounded by eight trucks when these young people were doing their work in the colony of Moderna.  They were interrogated, beaten, and also threatened not to return to that place.  Today (Monday), Soldiers are in the offices of the IFE, possibly to take action regarding these events."

"Armed gunmen entered a house and there were gunshots heard, that is all that is known.  There are also trucks outside of the house.  This occurred in Bugambilias (Located in Reynosa, Tamaulipas).  Other reports mention that there were some revisions going on by a local cartel."

"Armed gunmen were seen at Tec. De Jarachina Sur (a technical University); apparently there are soldiers by the university also."

"A lot of movement with trucks and cars with armed gunmen moving.   Apparently they have things in the back of the trucks.  This also occurred in Bugambilias.  Apparently it’s some members of the Gulf Cartel moving into this location."

"It is correct that they are busting businesses and properties of the faction of the Gulf Cartel members that lost the battle yesterday (The ones who were following El Gringo and El Commandante Puma who controlled Olmo."
