Zacatecas: Narco-mantas Hung in Calera Announce War for Plaza
Translated by Valor for
Borderland Beat
April 5, 2016- During the beginning of
this week, narco-mantas (narco-banners) were hung on a pedestrian bridge. The
message was directed between organized crime groups.
The Cartel Del Noroeste
(CDN) confirms the war that had been launched previously by their opponents,
the Gulf Cartel (CDG), had finalized and warned that they will recover
municipalities in Zacatecas. Now the CDN
responds with the narcomanta stating
that they are ready to start and continue the war for the plaza as well as
reporting on corrupt officials who are in collusion with organized crime, and
that they are also going after them.
According to unofficial
sources, the CDN required to request reinforcements to other states and
municipalities in Zacatecas where they still have a presence to fight and to go
against the CDG, the latter which uploaded a video to social networking sites
showing a shocking video that was recorded in first person depicting them
attacking an armed commando of the CDN with rifles. The shootout shook throughout Ojocaliente a
few days ago. The white Ford that the
CDN were traveling in was shot at by the CDG which is recovering much of the
south of Zacatecas. They are seen as the
leaders throughout the area. With the
video they showed their opponents such as Los Zetas, the CDN, and others, to
not occupy the areas and regions of theirs. But the CDN doesn’t lower their guard and
launched new attacks, and now with these narcomantas,
it shows that the violence is expected to rebound again like in previous years
where it didn’t let up.
Just 72 hours ago in Tacoaleche,
another unidentified armed commando was attacked by another armed group with
bullets, which left various men injured, leaving some fleeing to be treated in
community hospitals in the region, the municipal police can’t go up against the
heavily armed convoys; it requires the help of the PEP (State Preventative
Police), SEDENA (Secretariat of National Defense), or SEMAR (Mexican Navy), who
are suitable for this type of combat.
The CDG maintains its
leadership in Zacatecas, occupying most municipalities, followed by the CDN who
are advancing from the north, as well as Los Zetas who didn’t separate to form
the CDN, who occupy some places in the north and south, as well as the center,
to a lesser extent. The CJNG (Jalisco New Generation Cartel) is present in the southern
region, near Jalisco and some municipalities in the central north.

Cartel shootout reported near Los Indios bridge
Grenade attack reported on Matamoros police roadblock
June 07, 2011 8:18 PM
Members of the Gulf Cartel and Zetas clashed in a long, drawn-out gun battle Tuesday that began in the outskirts of Matamoros and concluded near Lucio Blanco, a town near the Los Indios International Bridge.
The Mexican military arrived in force at Lucio Blanco, with a large contingent of troops and a helicopter in response to reports of armed civilians fighting each other, a Mexican law enforcement official said.
U.S. authorities could hear the firefight and see the helicopter in the distance. The Cameron County Sheriff’s Department sent out additional deputies to the area as a precautionary measure. The bridge was not closed to traffic.
A source with firsthand knowledge of criminal activity in Mexico said that the firefight began in the outskirts of Matamoros after an apparent attempt by the Zetas to enter Matamoros. The Zetas were met by members of the Gulf Cartel, with the firefight turning into a chase through dirt roads and ending up near Lucio Blanco. The clash was broken up when the military arrived and turned it into a three-way firefight.
The number of dead or wounded couldn’t be learned at press time Tuesday.
The source also said that a group of Zetas threw a grenade at a Matamoros municipal police roadblock in the outskirts of the city Monday evening. The attack took place less than a mile from the city’s airport.
A Mexican law enforcement official confirmed the attack and that a patrol suffered minor damage but would not confirm whether a criminal organization was behind it. No injuries or deaths were reported in the grenade attack.
