In the recent news reports, things have not fared well for Mexico’s law enforcement as several high-profile figures have ended up dead. At some of Mexico’s border towns, they have become the locations of bloody gun battles with gangs and drug cartels. Recently, an e-mail sent gives a warning that over the weekend, the border down of Ciudad Juarez will be part of the statistic.
However, it is not uncommon for towns like Juarez to be the location of drug-related wars. Authorities say that at least more than the lives of 200 people have been claimed in Juarez as a result of such wars. So far, this e-mail has the town’s law enforcement on much high alert.
In the e-mail, it gives forewarning that gunmen will fire at various public places all over the city. In short, the e-mail gives the implication that many people will be killed throughout the city of Ciudad Juarez. So far, Roberto Orduna, the chief of the Ciudad Juarez Police is taking the threat very seriously.
The authorities have admitted that the situation is bad. So far, killings that have been linked to cartels and other syndicates have increased by almost half throughout Mexico. This can be contributed towards the declaration of war against the drug cartels by current Mexican President Felipe Calderon.
It would look as if the drug cartels are not backing down. The number of deaths shows that these drug cartels will not give up their control and influence. It is unknown what will happen in the border town of Ciudad Juarez over the weekend. Only thing that can be done is waiting to find out and see if anything happens.
The police isn’t going to take any chances.
