Mexican Drug Cartel Leader "had 1,500 people murdered"
Mexican drug cartel leader "had 1,500 people murdered"
Police said Mexican drug cartel leader confessed to ordering deaths of 1,500 people in Ciudad Juarez, including murders of a U.S. consulate worker and her husband.
A suspected Mexican drug cartel leader has been captured and confessed to ordering the deaths of 1,500 people in the northern Mexico crime hotspot of Ciudad Juarez, police say.
Jose Antonio Acosta Hernandez, 33, is also suspected of planning the March 2010 killings of a U.S. consulate worker and her husband.
Mexican police say that Acosta Hernandez, also known as El Diego, is the leader of the La Linea gang, whose members work as hired killers for the notoriously violent Juarez cartel, which controls the main drug smuggling routes from Mexico into the United States.
According to police, he admitted to having masterminded scores of targeted killings in northern Chihuahua state, the BBC reports.
The Mexican government had offered 15 million pesos ($1,275,000) for information leading to Acosta Hernandez's arrest.
Mexican authorities say they worked with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency to capture him, CNN reports.
U.S. prosecutors have said they want to try him in the case of the horrific 2010 killing of U.S. consulate employee Lesley Enriquez, her husband Arthur Redelfs, and the husband of another consular worker, Jorge Alberto Salcedo.
They were gunned down in their SUV after leaving a birthday party in Juarez, which shares a border with El Paso, Texas.
Enriquez, 35, was four months pregnant when she was killed. The couple's baby daughter survived the attack and was found crying in the back seat, the BBC says.
Mexican President Felipe Calderon, on his Twitter account, called Acosta Hernandez's arrest on Saturday “the biggest blow” to the Juarez drug cartels since he sent thousands of police officers to Ciudad Juárez last year after a spree of high-profile killings there, The New York Times reports.

This is really a bad guy, I hope if they do send him here to the US as it says in the article ...."U.S. prosecutors have said they want to try him"......that Holder will not just let him go. Holder loves to take the side of the terrorists and killers as Holders history shows us.

Mexico Newspaper Seeks Publishing Guidelines From Drug Cartels
Members of the Mexican police carry a dead man inside a garage in Ciudad Juarez where five corpses were found. Ciudad Juarez, with 1.3 million inhabitants, is the most violent city in Mexico.
El Diario, biggest newspaper in Mexico's Ciudad Juarez, cedes to cartels; asks 'What can we do?'

Mexico’s powerful cartels have thwarted military and government crackdowns on drug-related violence and have now become so threatening, one of the country’s biggest newspapers has said it will cut drug war coverage in an effort to keep journalists alive.
El Diario, the largest newspaper in violence-riddled Ciudad Juarez, published a front-page editorial Sunday asking the cartels what it can and can’t publish after a journalist for the publication was brutally murdered – the second slain in less than two years.
“Leaders of the different organizations that are fighting for control of Ciudad Juarez: The loss of two reporters from this publishing house in less than two years represents an irreparable sorrow for all of us who work here, and, in particular, for their families,” the editorial said. “We ask you to explain what you want from us, what we should try to publish or not publish, so we know what to expect.”
El Diario directed the editorial to the country’s cartels, calling them the nation’s de facto leadership in the absence of an effective government strategy to curb their killing sprees.
The move comes as an international media watchdog group planned to push Mexican government officials to make journalist safety a priority, The Associated Press reported. El Diario’s editorial appeared after gunmen attacked two El Diario photographers, killing one and critically wounding the second.
Luis Carolos Santiago, 21, died after being shot several times at close range. Another reporter for the paper was killed in 2008 as he was taking his daughters to school. “We don’t want to continue to be used as cannon fodder in this war because we’re tired,” El Diario editor Pedro Torres, told The Associated Press.
Wild Thing's comment.........
This is a blunt, real demonstration of how easily newspapers are swayed and content therein propagandized (corrupted) to suit whoever the editors are attempting to appease.
The Mexican newspapers are going to be lapdogs for the Cartels like the American Newspapers are for the Democrats. They might as well just turn ownership of the whole paper over to the cartels. Let them write their own copy.
Patrick Leahy warned the President of Mexico to be careful not to violate the civil rights of the drug cartels. I am not kidding you, he actually said that.

Obama aka Carter II In Mexico on His Bash America Tour
Obama blaming America and saying that most guns in Mexico come from the United States:
"A demand for these drugs in the United States is what is helping keep these cartels in business ... more than 90% of the guns recovered in Mexico come from the United States," President Barack Obama said Thursday.
However, Fox News debunked this claim weeks ago: "It's just not true. In fact, it's not even close. The fact is, only 17 percent of guns found at Mexican crime scenes have been traced to the U.S."
.
Hussein Obama being debunked:
Wild Thing's comment.........
Obama has no credibility LOL he doesn’t let facts get in the way of his agenda. America will be unsafe and in great danger until he is sent packing.
