Murders at the border and attacks in Jalisco and Guanajuato stun Mexico

LA Times  

Members of the Mexican army and forensic experts work at the site where four radio station workers were killed and two restaurant employees were wounded in Ciudad Juarez, state of Chihuahua, Mexico, on Friday. On Friday, hundreds of Mexican troops were dispatched to the northern border city of Ciudad Juárez in a bid to bolster security after a series of apparently random gang attacks across town on Thursday and early Friday that left at least 11 dead— including a popular radio personality and three of his co-workers, and two inmates shot in a prison riot. “There’s no government here: Here the narcos are the government,” said Rogelio Cornejo Díaz, 54, who runs a fruit and vegetable stand in Celaya, one of the cities hard hit in the rolling attacks late Tuesday and early Wednesday in Guanajuato state. “If the president thinks all is fine and tranquil, he should come here sometime with his wife and children to see for himself.” Violence has ebbed somewhat in Juárez in the last decade, but Thursday’s events demonstrated the enduring power of criminal mafias — both sophisticated, trans-national cartels and lower-level street and prison gangs. The trouble in the border city began Thursday afternoon in a dispute between rival gangs at a state prison, Ricardo Mejía, Mexico’s deputy security minister, told reporters at the president’s daily news conference.
