The head of the PGR reported four other graves containing human remains in Iguala.

The locations of the graves or "fosas" were discovered after new arrests of 4 individuals.  The  PGR chief, Jesús Murillo Karam, decline to name the new detainees, he would only state that they were not police.   The number of detained now stands at 34;  26 police officers and 8 Iguala civilians.  

Murillo said it also continues the search of the mayor of Iguala, José Luis Abarca, and his wife, as well as those who may have  responsibility for the events. In turn, the chief director of the Criminal Investigation Agency, Thomas Zerón Lucio said there interagency collaboration to settle the case.

The recent attacks against student teachers left six people dead, 25 wounded and the disappearance of the 43 students, in a case that has sparked outrage inside and outside of Mexico.

However, residents of Iguala, in particular have been pleading for help from the PGR and federal government since 2011, when the criminal group Guerreros Unidos set down roots in the town important for drug trafficking as a staging city for drugs.  

There are countless bodies buried in fosas in and around Iguala, a ton of only 125,000 people.

BB reported on other fosas discovered, and are attempted to research dates and information of other fosas in Iguala and near by Taxco.  

In the past six months alone, in the city of Iguala known fosas:

April: 7 Bodies, May  23 Bodies,  August 31 Bodies,  October  28 bodies.  

Research is difficult, it requires accessing regional media reports going backwards.  Mainstream media largely ignored what has happened in Iguala until recent events.

A mainboard reader posted a comment the other day that read;

"El Americano's H3 and a fraction of the CT's just announced their pact/joint cartel, They'll be going by a new name and those that did not join because they are loyal to Nazario deserted the cartel"

At the time I could not locate further information , but today I received a link from a friend about a new group or new name.   Hopefully readers that have knowledge can weigh in. 

A short post in 1aplana was titled "

"Caballeros Templarios announce a pact with H3 Cartel"

The post reads; 
In social media a message is circulating from a Facebook page called "Zello Michoacán Templar,"which announced  a renaming of the criminal organization of the  Caballeros Templarios and an alleged pact with the H3.

The message says;  "We all  are still under the control of 'El Profe' (Tuta) we continue to have San Nazario in our heart,  that much is clear. The only thing that changed was the name, we are still at war because there are many infiltrators CJNG " (in Michoacan)

The post included the announcement but the copy is poor.
 There are two names used on the facebook page here is the other





 H3 Convoy in La Ruana
The above video was posted on social networks purportedly of a large convoy driving through La Ruana to intimidate Hipolito Mora. Mora and Simon Torres aka El Americano are bitter enemies, and Americano is not only a commander in the State Rurales Police but also leader of H3 cartel. 


Text with video:
"This happened a few minutes ago in the town of La Ruana by the damned dogs of the Cartel H3 commanded by Simon El Americano, more proof for  Alfredo Castillo Cervantes that  he is colluded with the cartel H3, in a press release made it on an interview yesterday,  Mr. Castillo said that any person who is not in uniform and carry weapons are breaking the law and  would be arrested because they are not going to tolerate any person that were acting by his own and not by the law.

(Castillo made the statement in reaction to the news that autodefensas, are again, taking up arms, for protection.)

We are showing here the proof of the H3 under the command El Americano, they are armed.

Why doesn't Castillo arrest them? And demonstrate his authority as he said yesterday on the interview?

Only the good people and the legitimate self-defense is disarmed and they lock us in prison as they did with Hipolito Mora, with the Moral Leader of the self-defense Manuel Mireles Valverde and how they want to imprison our brother of Aguililla Jorge Vazquez, because he considers us a danger us a danger for the country or the nation.
One of the last units of the PFP that has El Americano at its service t are part of his payroll that give protection to Simon El Americano."


Iguala Mayor still has constitutional immunity

If you have been waiting to see the photos of the Iguala mayor, José Luis Abarca handcuffed and  in a blackhawk being transferred to DF….don't hold your breath.

There has not been criminal action against the dubious municipal leader because he is proteted against prosecution by way of constitutional immunity.

Attorney General of Guerrero, Iñaky White says he has not called for the arrest of the mayor, for kidnapping and murder, because of the immunity.

For over a weeek congress has attemtping to suspend the immunity, "Until we can bypass the immunity, we can not proceed", said White.

Law makers say they were hopeful that the mayors right of  immunity would be removed on Monday, now they are hopeful perhaps by tomorrow.  Meanwhile the mayor and his security chief are on the lam.

It should be noted that this crime is not a red herring, the atrocities against the students and citizens has a long history, and demands for a federal investigation unheeded, since at least 2011.  

White may want to pile the blame on the mayor, but he and every lawmaker has a hand in the the killings, directly or by inaction.

The mayors wife .María de los Angeles Pineda Villa, is identified as being a part of the Guerreros Unidos Cartel.  Her entire family, siblings, mother and father (above)are members of the criminal group.

As for the 22 municipal police suspected of being directly responsible for the killings, they are being  held at the Federal Center for Social Rehabilitation Corner No. 4, in the town of Tepic.

A criminal judge ruled this week detention order against detainees by the police shooting attack on the convoy of buses Ayotzinapa normal school, on 26 September.

In the attack, three students, a footballer and two others died.  This part of the story seems to have been lost in the media, especially foreign media, as they concentrate on the fosas, which number 6 according to Mexican media in the region such as La Jornada, which has provided the most accurate coverage of this event.
